Funny story about that area. My late mother used to be a world traveler. Every year she and her sister would go somewhere off-beat…their adventures were epic. Long story-short, one year (they were in late 60’s around then) they were trying to figure out where next? I was working in Saudi and many friends would go to Thailand on vacations so I was like…checkout Siam (Thailand)? I was half-joking but went on & on about the beautiful beaches etc. So they DID!! When they got back they had pics of them with their conical hats sitting on a long boat…just the two of them with a driver..they went all the way up the rivers to the Golden Triangle and hungout with some mountain tribe that GREW OPIUM. The photos are amazing. My gift (they always brought back gifts) was an antique set of opium scales with the weights etc. My mouth was agape!! They coulda been kidnapped & held for ransom!! See what daily martinis can do to your judgement??!! 😂
