The Golden Triangle marks the meeting point of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, once infamous as the center of the global opium trade. Today, it’s a symbol of peace and transformation, offering visitors stunning views of the Mekong River and surrounding mountains. You can visit the Hall of Opium Museum to learn about the region's complex history or take a boat ride to explore the confluence of the three countries.
Surprising Fact: Despite its dark past, the Golden Triangle is now home to some of Thailand’s finest coffee plantations—ironically replacing the poppy fields that once dominated the landscape.
