26 APRIL 2014 - CHAING SAEN, CHIANG RAI, THAILAND: Chinese tourists get on tourist boats in the Golden Triangle, a village in Chaing Saen district of Chiang Rai province, Thailand. The Golden Triangle is where Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos meet on the Mekong River. Chinese businesses play an increasingly important role in the Chiang Rai economy. Consumer goods made in China are shipped to Thailand while agricultural products made in Thailand are shipped to China. Large Chinese cargo boats ply the Mekong River as far south as Chiang Saen in the dry season and Chiang Khong when river levels go up in the rainy season. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
