::: February 4, 2017 Chiang Rai - White Temple and Golden Triangle part 2

The Golden Triangle I have seen before, but this second visit was ok as well. I saw a few new things and it was a beautiful day...

The Golden Triangle is one of Asia's two main opium-producing areas. It is an area of around 950,000 square kilometres that overlaps the mountains of three countries of Southeast Asia: Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.Wikipedia

 

 

 

 

At the summit, there is a very old temple dating from 759 AD, a special place and usually serene and seldom visited.
