Tak Thailand

Tak Province, Tak province is situated on the border with Myanmar, with the River Moei acting as a natural boundary line for the two nations. Most of the province is forested, with mountainous regions that are excellent for trekking.

The region is the centre of the smuggling industry, where all sorts of illicit dealings have been going on, especially teak and opium brought over the border from Burma. Its location on the border has brought in a mixture of Burmese and Karen influences. Around the Mae Sot region there are many Karen refugee camps, its residents there to escape the fighting between the Karen and the Burmese government troops.

The city of Tak is situated on the eastern banks of the Ping River. Although the city centre itself is not very interesting, there is plenty to see in the environs. There is plenty of comfortable accommodation available for those travelling in the area and who may want to stop-over.
