What is Golden Triangle?
 The Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and
Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers. The name
"Golden Triangle"—coined by the Central Intelligence Agency is commonly used
more broadly to refer to an area of approximately 950,000 square kilometers
that overlaps the mountains of the three adjacent countries.
 Along with Afghanistan in the Golden Crescent, it has been one of the largest
Opium producing areas of the world since the 1950s. Most of the world's
heroin came from the Golden Triangle until the early 21st century when
Afghanistan became the world's largest producer.
