We Invite You to Experience Burma's Golden Triangle Journey!
Travel off the beaten path to the Golden Triangle of Burma with Author Pierre Odier and experience the journey through photographs.
Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar, is the largest country by geographical area in Indochina (mainland Southeast Asia).
The country is bordered by China on the north-east, Laos on the east, Thailand on the south-east, Bangladesh on the west,
India on the north-west and the Bay of Bengal to the south-west with the Andaman Sea defining its southern periphery.
One-third of Burma's total perimeter, 1,930 kilometres (1,199 mi), forms an uninterrupted coastline.
The Golden Triangle is an area of around 950,000 km that overlaps the mountains of four countries of Southeast Asia:
Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
The Golden Triangle also designates the confluence of the Ruak River and the Mekong river,
since the term has been appropriated by the Thai tourist industry to describe the nearby junction of Thailand, Laos, and Burma (Myanmar).
