I was there a couple of years ago......
Half day longtail trip along Mae Kok to elephant camp was good...can ride elephants in water along river bank....
Full day trip to Golden Triangle then to Mae Sai/Talichek in Burma for shopping then to Long Neck village was interesting....forget boat trip to Laos Island ...very boring
Cannot recommend any hotels that I saw or stayed in.
There is no nightlife so being with g/f is good idea. Though night market had a square with live music.
Condoms and Cabbages was only decent restaurant I found....
It was worthwhile going....if you go in winter bring a jumper....
