House of Opium

Chiang Rai Province

The House of Opium (Opium Museum) is a museum that displays the history of trade and opium culture in the Golden Triangle. Its focus is on the history of poppy cultivation, trade, and regulation, as well as educational exhibits on drug issues, and displays of equipment and photographs from that time. Touring the museum along with the border topography of the three countries will deepen your understanding of the geography and history. It is a popular culturally complementary spot where you can learn from both a social history and educational perspective.
