The Golden Triangle...

We headed to the Golden Triangle centre today in Sop Ruak, this is where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos connect along the Mekong. It’s a pretty touristy spot but we had a nice time wandering around and visiting the Opium Museum that was very interesting, and gave a history of Opium and the Golden Triangle.

The Golden Triangle

After we returned, the heavens opened and it rained pretty hard for a few hours, so we missed out the night market and headed to a local Chinese restaurant. It was surprisingly good and even Charly enjoyed her Cabbage and Bacon dish. Early to bed before moving on to Laos tomorrow.
