In 1986, Charles Nicholl travels through Thailand to learn about the spiritual traditions of forest Buddhism in the north of the country. But interesting things have a habit of getting in the way.
When Nicholl meets Harry, an old French Indochina hand, on the night train north with his tales of Kachin jade and Shan opium, it leads to a journey along the banks of the Mekong, into the Golden Triangle and then across the border into Burma.
Accompanying him on this adventure is the book's Thai heroine, Kitai, as they navigate a world of intrigue and discovery in Southeast Asia's most fascinating borderlands.
