Hiking
The Golden Triangle is the famous border region in Southeast Asia where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet at the Mekong River. A central attraction is the large, golden Buddha statue seated in a boat overlooking the Mekong. This impressive statue is located in the village of Sop Ruak on the Thai side. The Buddha sits atop an intricately decorated, ship-shaped pedestal, often considered one of the most beautiful photo spots in the region.
