"happy holidays."
This larger than life replica of the Buddha is modeled after the original that is rumored to still be at the bottom of the Mekong River.  

These boats can be hired to take you across the Mekong to either Laos or Myanmar to visit the Chinese casinos on the other side...you are free to cross the borders to gamble for one hour. 

Looking from the Thai border, you can see Myanmar on the left and Laos on the right.  The Golden Triangle.
