The Golden Triangle
|
 |
|
 |
| I think Sob Ruak is the name of the city at the golden triangle. |
 |
| I have seen about 6 of these points.
Representing the Golden Tri-Angle. I did NOT find what looked like an official one. But
that would be in the middle of the river.
|
 |
| Small long tail boats. These are fast ones. |
 |
| Mekong River |
 |
| Hill tribe girls selling curios. and cloth, shirts. |

| Photo of Opium Museum. Will write about in next issue. |
 |
| Museum again |
 |
| Pink House. It was unique. I do not see many pink houses in the world. I had to take a photo. |
 |
| Another nice Golden Triangle marker. |

 |
| Chinese Flag |
 |
| These Chinese freight boats come down and up the Mekong. This border is wide open to smuggling. |
 |
| This American Flag is hanging 24 hours a
day in front of this store. Thailand is the first country I have visited where I have seen
full size flags of the USA. This is like a subtle way to show they support the USA.
You will hear other travelers say bad things about the USA in countries, but
normally they will DO different. The local people almost always love Americans and if you
wear a shirt of flag on your clothes they will come up and talk and ask a lot of
questions. For you guys that like women, a good way to meet women.
