When I first went to the Golden Triangle, an area infamous for its past (and possibly present…?) opium production, I didn’t expect much. Maybe that’s why I found visiting the area where Thailand, Laos and Burma meet surprisingly interesting – and there was an actual triangle.
The photo is taken from the Thai side looking at Burma to the left and Laos to the right, with China just a little further up the river. Coming from an area where I could drive six hours and still be within the same state, it’s always strange for me to see so many places intersect at one point…

I love that it’s actually a triangle – I always just assumed that it was a figure of speech!
I was surprised too, I thought it would be a vague point or shape…like when you’re in a cave and the guide is point out the ‘dinosaur’ rock and the ‘turtle’ formation that all just look like blobs.
