Accommodation, in the form of hotel rooms and huts, is available for tourists who want to stay here overnight. Tourists can hire boats for upstream trips along the Khong River to view the Golden Triangle. The entire trip takes only 40 minutes. Alternatively, boats can also be rented to cruise downstream from Sop Ruak along the Mae Khong River to Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong. The entire trip takes approximately an hour. The duration of these boat rides can vary widely depending on the level of the water during that season, flow of the river and on the water currents.
A very interesting place to visit within the Golden Triangle Park is the ‘Hall of Opium’, where tourists can learn about a wide variety of issues related to opium such as its history, its natural properties, its uses, stories of the opium wars, and the problems caused by opium (along with a mild message about refraining from opium smoking and trading).
