Hall of Opium Museum interior, Golden Triangle, Thailand.

One kilometre north of Sop Ruak on a 40-hectare plot opposite the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa, the Mae Fah Luang Foundation has established the 5600-sq-metre Hall of Opium. The multimedia exhibitions include a fascinating history of opium, as well as engaging and informative displays on the effects of opium abuse on individuals and society. Well balanced and worth investigating.
