The temple was just so-so as compared to others in Thailand. Nothing to shout about the river boat ride. The economic zone has become unrecognisable with lots of high rise buildings. Not many shopper…Full review by KelvinPg

Hi, if you want to go to the beach area for holidays, it may be advisable to stay in your resort/hotel and always bring a big umbrella or be prepared to wait it out for the heavy rains to stop before you go out and enjoy again. I have gone during June before and if you are the type that can stop and wait for the rains to stop, you can go there for holiday. During this season, hotels are not that expensive.
We are interested in visiting the Lao island of Donsao by taking the boat across from the Thai border. I read somewhere that you had to leave your passport somewhere before you entered Laos. Is this true or do I get to hold on to my passport? Thanks!

Yes our passports were collected by the tour guide in the van just before sending us to the restaurant nearby for lunch. The passports are then placed in a small pouch and passed to a small immigration office / booth near the jetty. After the crossing into Laos, the passports were returned with a small slip of paper stamped as proof of entry into Laos.
Hello, How much does it cost for a boat ride for 4 people ? And how long will the boat ride be?
A:
I am not 100% sure of either but cost was not much, and the stay was maybe about 3 hours with boat ride and all. Not a must to do but if never thee, why not?
Do we need to apply for a visa before travel to golden triangle
A:
Not if you are doing the boat trip to Laos. You technically cross borders but you are just on an island and it's very touristy. We went to the Myanmar border but did not cross on my tour.
Sounds pretty forgettable and am wondering why so many make the trip.
