Following the trail of the lavender jade, we crossed the border into Myanmar (Burma), and spent the day in the city of Tachileik, near the Golden Triangle.
I have to be content with that brief visit for now, since I had missed the chance to go with a couple of my travel friends to see the marvelous temples at Bagan.
They have been urging me to visit Burma before it becomes over-run with tourists the way Cambodia has in recent years.
