Walk straight to the northernmost tip of Thailand to watch the bridge crossing into Myanmar. The real draw is the sprawling market—skip the generic electronics and hunt for cheap Burmese jade, roasted chestnuts, and dried fruit. Expect intense crowds and zero personal space. Spend two hours max wandering the stalls before climbing the steep stairs to Wat Phra That Doi Wao for a panoramic view of the border mess below. Keep your passport handy.
