Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is an area of around 350,000
square kilometers that overlaps the mountains of
three countries of Southeast Asia: Myanmar, Laos and
Thailand. The Golden Triangle designates the
confluence of the Sop Ruak River and the Mekong
river, since the term has been appropriated by the
region tourist industry to describe the nearby
junction of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. The Mekong
is one of the world's major rivers. It is the 10th
longest in the world, and the 10th largest by
volume. Its estimated length is 4,909 km. It drains
from Tibet and it runs through China's Yunnan
province, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and
Vietnam. Doi Chaang Coffee is cultivated and
processed in the high mountain of the Chiang Rai
province of Northern Thailand inside the Golden
Triangle.
The Thai area of the former triangle is full of
small quiet villages where the most exciting thing
that happens is the arrival of the next tour bus.
The area is full of beautiful natural scenery and
ancient temples, so it isn't like its not worth a
visit.
