[Golden Triangle] Not just a place name, it is the “crossroads of the world.”

The Golden Triangle, located in the north of Chiang Rai.
This is where the three countries of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet.

Once known as the "Golden Triangle," it has a history known around the world as the center of opium trading.
But now it is a quiet tourist destination where you can appreciate the border scenery and peace.

When you stand on the observation deck, the Mekong River flows leisurely in front of you,
with Laos beyond that and the mountains of Myanmar to the right.
Here you can see a "real border," not a line on a map.
