[2025 Chiang Saen Attraction] Travel Guide for Golden Triangle (Updated Mar)

The Golden Triangle is located on the Myanmar-Thailand-Old border. It is named because the Mekong River on the Thai-Laos border and the Ruak River on the Thai-Myanmar border meet here. A long time ago, local residents lived by hunting, and later they began to grow opium poppy on a large scale for huge profits. After years of rectification by the Thai government, it is no longer the troubled place where gunpowder smoke was everywhere. The mountains here are green, the red-roofed huts scattered here and there, coupled with the mysterious atmosphere that has not been gone for a long time, is the first choice for many tourists to visit Chiang Rai. The Golden Triangle is a triangular area located in the border area of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia and is now a tourist attraction. There are souvenir shops, jade jewelry shops and restaurants in the triangle area. It is usually a boat trip to learn about some friendly situations in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. In addition, there are many giant Buddha statues on the shore, which are worth seeing.
