Nice Experience in Hall of Opium I ( Thailand)

Actually, I am now sharing the unforgettable experience in chiang mai.
Thinking back, I find myself fortunate to visit Chiang Mai at the Golden Triangle by tour of the foreign affairs of Thailand organized.
To tell the truth, the heroin case itself is quite familiar, I was born in Thai Nguyen, a city in northeastern Vietnam, very famous for the mining industry.
And thanks to this mining industry, Thai Nguyen is also the second largest drug addiction in Vietnam after Quang Ninh, the largest mines in Southeast Asia.
Remember the day when I was a boy, when I was in a group home, i.e., a high school teacher's home (my mother was a literary teacher) behind my house was a village later, it became a place of attraction for youth, black society or criminals.
Then, when I grew up a little, my parents told me that the village, the young man died or was jailed for addiction.
So I understand quite well the ill effects of drugs on human society, it destroys the future of young people.
That is why I am so lucky that I finally got a place to help me understand the history of opium, drug trafficking, and the impact of the Hall of Opium in Chiang Mai. .
Most of the Vietnamese tourists coming to the Laos-Thailand-Myanmar border crossing are just visiting the artificial riverbank complex with a three-sided border marker, Buddha statues and Ends with a brief canoe trip to the Golden Triangle beach located in the middle of the meeting point of the Mekong and the River Ruak. If you just stop there, visitors missed a very special highlight of this area, "decoding" that made the place Golden Triangle became the terror of the world in the second half of the 20th century. : Drug.

From the fork of the border for 2 kilometers towards Mae Sai, the Hall of Opium - the most magnificent Asian museum on the subject, lies deep in a hill with a total area of approximately 6,000 square meters. .
From the entrance, cross the quiet green grounds, you will set foot in the main hall of the museum. Here, after paying the entrance fee (200 baht for foreigners), I walk down a sloping corridor, smoking green lights with wrinkled figures hidden on rugged wall and The music is rustling like sobbing. The effects in this tunnel are probably intended to describe the contradiction surrounding the effects of drugs: fancifulness, danger, pain relief, fear ...
Out of the tunnel, visitors will set foot in a clear glass. There is a small strip of poppies, some tables of information about the abundance of poppies, and the speed at which poppy cultivation is growing in the world. The other end of the conservatory led into a spacious movie theater, where a 10-minute video presentation provided a succinct yet complete historical lesson: Opium pops existed as a home garden drug among the community Indigenous peoples, Khun Sa appeared and turned Tam Truong Vang into Asia's largest opium processing plant and opium plant, emperor opium decline, Queen's visit and launch campaign "color change" Tam Golden sunrise.
Actually, I was not surprised, thanks to the thick forest and the difficult terrain, but the sandy military forces, the opium, were planted in large quantities in the Golden Triangle.

One of the interesting things is the story about poppy.

The legend of poppy flowers:

It is said that in one village there are two young man and woman loving each other earnestly. One day, he had to go far to seek his career, leaving the beautiful girl with the promise that he would return. She had every night and night looking forward, waiting for him. Years passed and the boy still did not return, not a letter. The girl knew she was cheated and she cried, crying so much, so much until she dried up her tears, when she could no longer cry. And so she went away carrying the boy's promise to the deep grave.
Soon afterwards, people saw from the tombs grow a beautiful flower, the beauty of it to the soul, looking at it, people can feel the wealth, success, comfort and especially about glamorous glamor like girl. That flower is the curse of the girl because if anyone tasted the fruit or use the branches, leaves, plants to the flowers of this species is also addicted as hit the charm and forever can never leave it.
