    Ban Rak Thai is worth a visit (I liked the dried fruits, coconut roast almonds and tea 😂) although a man made tourist attraction it has a great deal of charm. I loved the orientalism of the boats on the misty lake

    BRT is certainly Disney esque these days with Chinese boats and hiso hotels asking whopping big rates. I head back with some Canadians visiting on a few weeks on a motorcycle trip... Not sure where that momento guy filled with war relics is around the lake. Can you point me to the spot?

    maps.app.goo.gl/vKrvgfktUKZ8naPs8 It should be here, its a tea shop I think but its got all the stuff in. I'd try your luck at the border to the Shan village, maybe now Thailand is more at peace with covid they will have reopened it again. Let me know if you succeed!

    I went to the border two weeks ago and it was a proper military outpost with full detachment of soldiers still. No crossing except Burmese entering when surrendering a green card for day trips. Doesn't seem the crossing will reopen again any time soon. Thanks for the map location

    The video (audio is fine) is kinda skipping. I don't think it's just on my computer, it's probably in the upload itself. I think you might wanna check it.

    Thanks for heads up, really appreciate it. Had a watch through and couldn't see anything (other than my crap editing!)
