CHIANG RAI, 31 July 2015 – The Asanha Puja and Buddhist Lent holiday has stimulated economic activity in the border province of Chiang Rai.
The Mae Sai- Tha Khilek border point in Mae Sai District is packed with vehicles, shoppers and tourists crossing the border to Myanmar. The border market is always a popular destination for visitors looking for affordable products imported from nearby countries.
Aside from inexpensive goods, what has made the Mae Sai- Tha Khilek border crossing a must-see spot for vacationers is the scenery of Myanmar and Thailand which gives it an exotic feel.
It is expected that the border trade during the long holiday will generate at least 10 million baht in turnover.
