Firstly we ascend Doi Tung Mountain, sharing the border with Myanmar. Visit the Royal Villa and Gardens that were once home to tha mother of the 9th King, remembered by the local hilltribe people as Mae Fah Luang (princess from the sky). At an elevation of 1800 metres in the early tenth century.

The Golden Triangle region, a large area covering Southern Myanmar, Laos, and Northern Thailand, is notorious for the production and trafficking of opium and other illicit drugs. Millions of people visit the area on the banks of the Mekong River where these 3 countries meet and, in earlier times, would have seen little more than a sign with the name Golden Triangle and rows of shops. In 1988, Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother visited the area and wished to initiate a program to educate people on the background of opium in the Golden Triangle and elsewhere in the world.

While the Doi Tung Development Project has helped solve the problem of the supply of drugs, the Princess Mother recognized that the fight against drugs also needs to address the demand for drugs. The Hall of Opium was created to help reduce the demand for drugs through education.
