The Hall of Opium at the Golden Triangle Park
houses several sections to be explored and various exhibitions to be
contemplated. For example, the 5,600 square-meter Hall of Opium
presents An Invitation to the Mysterious World of Opium from Darkness
to Light, the history of opium as of 5,000 years ago from its natural
properties to its uses. It traces opium's global journey through trade
routes in the age of imperialism, culminating in the Opium Wars-an
event that disgraced both winners and losers that led to the fall of
the Manchu Dynasty. It also features Siamese wisdom in confronting the
West and the eventual control of opium problems.
Other exhibits are presented in a manner that encourages visitors learn
how drugs become a part of everyday life and understand the impact of
opium on society in terms of crime, conflict and illegal drugs.
Additionally, the Hall of Opium presents efforts to curb drugs through
actual case studies that offer alternatives and opportunities in
fighting against the temptation of drugs.
The Hall of Opium also displays paraphernalia associated with opium
smoking and trading, along with many photographs, films, and videos
about opium and other illegal drugs from countries around the world.
