The
confluence of the Ruak and
Mae Khong
rivers at the
Golden Triangle
in
Sop Ruak. Here
the Mae Khong river forms the natural border between Thailand and Laos and a
bit further upstream, between Laos and Burma. The Ruak river (on the left)
is named after a species of small bamboo and forms the natural border line
between Burma and Thailand. The side from which the picture is taken is
in Thailand, the spit of land is Burma and the land on the right, opposite the
main (Mae Khong) river, is Laos.
