CANCELED / Before They Vanish: The Golden Triangle of Laos and Thailand
Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Explorer and author, James Michael Dorsey continues his "Before They Vanish," travelogue series with a new and adventurous journey through the Golden Triangle of Laos and Thailand. You will meet remote hill tribes that grow opium poppies for the drug trade of the Kuomintang, who are still actively trying to overthrow the Chinese government. We will explore the secret bunkers of a man who once ruled the opium trade for all of Asia. We will journey up the Mekong River to visit sacred Buddhist caves, spend time with a moonshiner, visit one of the strangest statuary parks in the world, and attend a rare ceremony of monks gathering alms.
Reservations are required due to limited seating. James' book will be available for sale. www.jamesdorsey.com
