"Golden Triangle" the words evoke images of opium poppies, of hill tribes, of mist-shrouded hills, the mighty Mekong River, and tropical forests. But most of all the words "Golden Triangle" evoke images of mystery and danger surrounding drug production and trafficking: porous borders; civil wars; armies, police, and smugglers clashing; poor hill farmers eking out a living from a beautiful poisonous plant; raids on hidden heroin factories; donkey caravans along old jungle trade paths.
The development of the Hall of Opium is the result of the initiative of the Mae Fah Luang Foundation. The museum presents the history of opium and the impacts of illegal drugs
