Book excerpt: Historically, the Golden Triangle on the Mekong River has been a strategic yet largely impoverished crossroads between China, Laos, Thailand and Burma.

Improved highways and ports have transformed towns and districts, bringing an influx of Chinese investment, tourism, and population movements.
