Thailand: Golden Triangle


We flew to Chang Rai and drove to the Golden Triangle area, the "three corners" of Southeast Asia and the heart of the old opium trade routes. The governments of the region are trying to replace the opium crop with incentives for raising corn, etc. While there we visited several hill tribes.
