Well that depends on where you want to go. Downtown Tachilek, about 2 miles from Tachilek Airport (THL), can be a challenge to drive around. Keep things easy by renting something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That said, Tachilek is a popular base to explore many of the sandy shores in Shan State. If your journey is more about hitting the wide open road, you may want a ride with more trunk space and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
