Historically, the Golden Triangle on the Mekong River has been a
strategic yet largely impoverished crossroads between Thailand,
Myanmar, Laos, and southern China. In the latter half of the 20th
century, it was known as one of the world's key opium-producing
regions. The new transnational "economic corridors" connecting
northern Thailand and southwestern China via key border towns in
Myanmar and Laos have greatly increased the volume of trade and
transshipment in the region. Logistical improvements via the
highways and ports have transformed entire towns and districts in
Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand, bringing with them an influx of
Chinese investment and tourism, and other population movements. The
transformation of the economy of the Golden Triangle is ongoing and
relatively uncharted. There is evidence of unequal benefits to the
countries involved. Combining official data, observations, and
interviews with a wide range of participants in this new border
economy, this book provides an important and unique perspective on
the impact of the new economic linkages in the region.
