Golden Triangle
Raods lead further north to Mae Sai and Chiang Saen. Mae Sai is Thailand's northernmost town, with a border crossing to Myanmar, and Chiang Saen was the site of one of he first Thai principalities in the 13th century. Some ruins remain. This area is the nominal heart of the infrmous opium-growing Golden Triangle; actual production centres fluctuate with politices and war. The great majority of this raw material for heroin is currently grown not in Thailand but in Myanmaer and Laos, whose borders meet Thailand's just north of Chiang Saen, at the confluence the Sop Ruak and Maekong Rivers.
