A Journey to the Northernmost Point of Thailand: Golden Triangle and Opium Museum
Welcome to this extraordinary trip to the northernmost region of Thailand, where history and natural beauty blend seamlessly at the Golden Triangle. This fascinating area marks the meeting point of three countries: Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos.
Two Key Aspects of the Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is renowned for two significant aspects:
- A Historical Hub of Opium Production in Asia
In the past, this region was one of the most prominent opium-producing areas in the world, especially during the 20th century. Opium was cultivated and traded illicitly, creating significant influence in the global drug trade. - A Transformation into a Renowned Tourist Destination
Today, the Golden Triangle has shed its historical ties to the opium trade and become a major international tourist attraction. Visitors are drawn by the stunning landscapes along the Mekong River and the unique blend of cultures from the three bordering nations.

- Scenic Views – From the temple’s high vantage point, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lush forests, as well as glimpses into neighboring Myanmar.
- Meditation Spots – The peaceful surroundings of the temple offer ideal places for quiet reflection and meditation.
- Bells and Prayer Flags – Visitors can ring the bells along the path to symbolize good fortune and leave prayer flags to express wishes or gratitude.
