Golden Triangle Tours and Tickets

Q: Is the Golden Triangle worth visiting?

Yes, the Golden Triangle is worth visiting if you stay in Chiang Rai. Not only is it a novelty to stand on the point at which Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar intersect (and take a photo beside the monument that marks the spot), the area is rich in history. It is an excellent place from which to cruise on the Mekong River.

Q: How much does a Golden Triangle tour cost?

Golden Triangle tickets for a tour typically combine the border intersection with Chiang Rai's top temples—White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten)—and tend to start from around $50. Tour prices typically cover your admission tickets to the attractions and include stress-free transport between each.

Q: How long is a Golden Triangle tour?

How long a Golden Triangle tour takes depends on where you're departing from and if you're visiting any other attractions. From Chiang Rai, tours typically last around 8–10 hours, but from Chiang Mai, they tend to take a few hours longer to account for the journey time.

Q: What are the 3 cities in the Golden Triangle?

The three countries that intersect in the area known as the Golden Triangle (or Sop Ruak to locals) are Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. It forms part of the Chai Chiang Rai province and is home to Chiang Saen and Mae Sai, both sleepy market towns perched on the banks of the Mekong River.

Q: What is the Golden Triangle famous for?

Thailand's Golden Triangle is famous for its history—the area's poppy fields were once at the center of Asia's opium trade. It's also renowned for being where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar intersect and for its scenic position on the banks of the Mekong River.

Q: Is Chiang Mai in the Golden Triangle tour?

Tours of the Golden Triangle typically depart from Chiang Mai—tours rarely combine sightseeing in Chiang Mai with the Golden Triangle due to the distance between the two. However, nearly all Golden Triangle tours include spending time in Chiang Rai, home to the famous White and Blue Temples.

Looong, Very Interesting Day

We took the 14+ hour tour from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai & on to the Golden Triangle. The minivan picked us up from our hotel at 7:30 a.m. We visited the Long Neck Karen village, the White Temple, Blue Temple & the Black House Museum before going on to the border of Thailand for a 30 minute boat ride on the Mekong River from Thailand, past Myanmar & Laos then back to Thailand. Had a 3 1/2 - 4 hour van ride back to Chiang Mai. Looong day but really enjoyed it. The young woman guide, Bee, was super helpful, good English, explained everything completely.

Know before you go

On tours that cross into Laos or Myanmar, it's helpful to carry a small amount of US currency in addition to Thai baht.
A valid passport is required for border crossings into Laos and Myanmar.
Each traditional hill tribe community has its own style of dress, language, and cultural customs. Visitors should be respectful, always ask before taking photographs, and consider purchasing local handicrafts.
Thailand's northern region is more conservative than Bangkok, the islands, and the beaches down south. Cover your shoulders and avoid wearing swimming attire at religious sites.
