Golden Triangle

Visiting the Golden Triangle was a really interesting experience. It’s fascinating to stand at the point where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet. The viewpoint offers beautiful scenery over the Mekong River, and it’s definitely worth stopping to take it all in. It’s also very interesting to learn about the history of the area, especially its past connection to the opium trade. Hearing the stories behind the name “Golden Triangle” gives the place a completely different perspective. The boat tour on the Mekong River was a fun addition to the visit — a great way to see the borders from the water and experience the area from another angle. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in northern Thailand.

A now famous tourist point with a huge history in it. Also a vantage point where the mekong river faces thai, burma and laos! Fantastic scenery for a great photo. Crowded for almost the entire year but manageable. Shops are avaliable but everyone selling the same stuff (good thing that the pricing is not within a cut-throat range as it is in the past) Parking along the road and boat tours are avaliable.

Place with historic significance in global Opium trade. Has a temple, some view points from where you can see Myanmar and Laos. It's cool to see the casinos of Laos from Thailand.. If you have your physical passport you can apparently take a ferry to Don Sao island which is technically Laos (without a visa) after submitting your passport to immigration in Thailand. We didn't have our passport so we didn't choose this. You could also go on a leisure boat trip to catch in the views of the 2 countries...
