I fixed a typo in the first sentence of the second paragraph. Hildenja 11:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I added a couple of historical and contemporary links to the "see also" section. Daniel 22:21, 01 May 2007
Who put $75 trillion dollars in there? This is so blown out of proportion, and what's even worse is there are absolutely no good references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.91.78 ( talk) 19:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
There are no sources for most of the statements in the article. I think there is only one citation? Also, the production data for Myanmar and Afghanistan is from 1999 and a lot has changed since then. This article needs researching and most likely rewriting, because Isuspect the first few paras on how opium gets from Myanmar to teh West is also dated. 202.82.171.186 ( talk) 10:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
The article defines the boundary of this Triangle which includes Vietnam (without reliable citations) but according to New York Times and this page, it is limited in a small mountainous part of Laos, Thailand and Burma only. If nobody can give reliable sources to prove this, I will correct this information a week later. Genghiskhan ( talk) 11:27, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
The line on the mapping locating Laos incorrectly points to part of Thailand. 159.233.79.1 ( talk) 22:21, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
It would be good to have a history section, which included such things as the presence of the Chinese Nationalist army.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 22:45, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I met Kun Sa's mentor. He was in the u.s. backed Taiwan/ROC military, as was his son. The father was KMT. The son was high up in the u.s backed ROC military too. Since the KMT was a dictatorship back then, the son wouldve also been KMT. Most of the prominent drug dealers in southeast Asia were tied in with the KMT, especially in the early days. Since they lost the war on the mainland, they just turned into drug dealers overnight. Even today, in Taiwan, the Taiwanese make excuses for these guys, saying that they couldnt find any other occupation. Heck, if the commies were doing it, they'd have a totally different opinion on the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by F9898989898 ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Most of the Chinese involved in the drug trafficking are more closely linked to Taiwan than mainland China, but you wont hear about that on wikipedia. And as usual, CIA involvement with this operation is completely censored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by F9898989898 ( talk • contribs) 15:36, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
on the image that shows countries which produce the most heroin, the countries in the golden triangle (laos, thailand, myanmar) are mislabeled — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whweh ( talk • contribs) 10:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
