The point where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet at the Mekong River, with a giant golden Buddha and the House of Opium museum.
Local tip: Honest answer to 'is it worth it?': the view itself is a quick photo stop. What makes the trip worthwhile is the history, the Mekong atmosphere, and combining it with Mae Sai or Choui Fong. As a standalone DIY round trip (120 km), it's a lot of driving for one viewpoint.
