The Golden Triangle is one of the most astonishingly wondrous locales in Asia. Essentially it is a meeting point of three nations which are kept separated by a single river.
Phra That Doi Pu Khao
This is a striking riverside temple that will definitely be a sight you won’t soon forget. Legend has it that the temple was built by King Hirannakhon Ngoen Yang sometime in the 8th century. Although much of the temple has deteriorated there is much here that is guaranteed to take your breath away.
Golden Triangle Park
The park is one of the most essential experiences the Golden Triangle has to offer, and if you’re visiting the triangle from Thailand, this is the best place to witness the convergence of the three nations. The park also in turns contains many notable attractions.
Hall of Opium Museum
Many would tell you that is one of the most popular museums in the nation. It is also a staple in leisure packages provided by Chiang Rai Hotels in the area such as Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. The museum provides a very interactive experience showcasing the history of opium not just in Thailand but throughout the world.
Long-Tail Boat Ride
One of the best ways to experience this spectacular destination is by taking a boat ride along the Meekong River. This allows you to experience the shores of all three countries in a ride taking anywhere between 20 minutes and 1 ½ hours.
