Very interesting museum about the history of Opium and its effects on the people living in the Golden Triangle. Lots of displays, antiques, artifacts and general information about the opium poppy. There are over 2000 objects relating to the opium trade and some of the antiques are over two hundred years old. Having practiced as a pharmacist for over 43 years, I found the museum to be very unique and interesting!!!! It is definitely a good educational experience for everyone!!!

If you ever wanted to know anything about opium, this museum is the best for that. The museum has exhibits explaining the mythical origins of poppies through the history of the trade of the narcotic to the modern fight against the production. The exhibits are outstanding in the quality of the displays and information boards, especially the collection of weights and opium paraphernalia. I learned a lot from this museum and highly recommend it.

I didn't know much about the history of opium and its significance in the region, so it was really interesting to learn about it. Some rooms had videos, some had artifacts, and one section even had a wall of famous people that had died from opiates. What I found fascinating is that in small quantities, opium was used for medicine, and it was actually a really positive thing, but obviously too much can get you addicted and cause serious problems. There is such a fine line between the two. There were also the opium wars where Britain/India wiped out China to take all of their opium and start a war in the region. Overall, the experience at the museum was fun and informative.
