About This Place

The Golden Triangle is the legendary meeting point of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, where the Ruak River flows into the mighty Mekong. Once infamous as the world's largest opium-producing region, today it's a fascinating cultural destination. From the viewpoint at Chiang Saen, visitors can gaze across three countries simultaneously. The nearby Hall of Opium museum traces the region's complex history, while boat trips on the Mekong offer a unique perspective of the borders and local river life.
