Location 3: Mae Sot, Western Thailand

It's a district that shares a border with Burma to the west and is world famous for its Thai Food.

#GLAadventure's recommendation: Don't forget to try the famous Jim-Jum which literally means hot pot. Other famous must-tries in Thai cuisine are - Pork, liver, squid, eggs with some veggies. Vegetarians don't feel left out - the classic Green Papaya Salad, Corn Cakes with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Hot yellow curry, will have you salivating!
