Province of the Golden Triangle
Chiang Rai, the northernmost province, well knew as the Golden Triangle shares common borders with Burma and Laos. The Golden Triangle is about 9 kilometers from the Chiang Saen old town to the north along the road parallel to the Mae Khong River. The area is locally referred to as, Sop Ruake, where the Mae Khong meets the Ruak River. This is where the borders of three countries, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, come together. There are remains of many ancient places and structures attesting to the area having been settled by people in the past. It is also, where various legends on the Lanna ancestors originate.
