Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia Adventure Tours

The Golden Triangle is the name for the region at the confluence of the Ruak River and the Mekong rivers where the three nations of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar come together in a tri-point border. The CIA originally coined the name for this area when it targeted the illicit opium and narcotics trade centered here. Now, though, the major industry is tourism and the lush jungle and beautiful river scenery make this a popular stop for travelers journeying through Southeast Asia.
