What to see in the Golden Triangle in one day?

In one day in the Golden Triangle, you can manage to see the key attractions that form the standard route:

1. Viewpoint at Wat Prathat Pukhao Temple: From here, you get that famous view of the confluence of the Mekong and Ruak rivers and the three borders. This is a must-stop for photos.
2. Hall of Opium Museum: The world's largest museum on this topic. The modern multimedia exhibition tells the history of opium, its production process, and consequences. Admission — 120 baht. Open from 8:30 to 15:30, closed on Mondays.
3. Giant Buddha on a Boat (Phra Chiang Saen Si Phaendin): A large and amusing statue of a happy Buddha in a boat on the banks of the Mekong. You can board, rub the gong for luck, and toss a coin. Free admission (donations welcome).
4. Boat trip to Lao island Don Sao: The most interesting activity. An hour-long cruise on the Mekong and a visit to the Lao island without a visa. On the island — a souvenir market. Boat rental for 1.5 hours — from 800 baht, island entry — 20 baht.
5. House of Opium Museum (optional): A small private museum right in the center, if you missed the Hall of Opium. Open from 7:00 to 18:00, admission — 50 baht.

This is enough to get an idea of the place. If time is short, you can limit yourself to the viewpoint, the Buddha, and the boat trip. For more details and a map, see our article: Golden Triangle in Thailand.
