SE Asia Chiang Rai

We drove by bus this morning to an area called the Golden Triangle which was the sight of poppy growing for the heroin trade until the 1990's. It was the second largest production region in the world behind Afghanistan, but was considered the highest quality.








The Golden Triangle is located where Thailand ( foreground), Myanmar (center peninsula) and Laos (right shore) meet.





Photo at Hell Fire Pass which contributed to so many Allied deaths in WWll.
A museum dedicated to the lost soldiers was built here and sponsored by the Australian government.





On our way to lunch at a Hill tribe passing beautiful rice paddies.





The local kids sang to us when we arrived in an old one cylinder farm truck.





She get's a ten on the "Cute" scale.
