Although I’d heard of the Golden Triangle as it related to the opium trade I appreciated your geography and history lesson of this fascinating area. Gorgeous photos and I can’t wait to visit this intriguing and beautiful area.

I am loving your in depth recommendations from this part of the world. We have yet to visit, but I will be consulting your work when we do. This is a great example of an off-the-beaten path destination for newcomers.

In reply to Phoebe. Hi Phoebe. Interesting that you were there in the opium days. Must have been a lot different than it is now.

In reply to Michele {Malaysian Meanders}. Hi Michele. I sometimes wonder about the opium production, too. There's lots of hills where things can be hidden from view. Hard to know if it's been completely wiped out or not.

In reply to Mary. Hi Mary. It is quirky and fun to visit more than one country in not only a day, but in probably less than an hour! :)

Hi Jan. Haha…that’s about it. Sometimes I wonder if the opium production is 100% gone, but that’s just me thinking out loud. 🙂
