Yep, it's called the Emerald Triangle.
Thailand, Laos and Cambodia have agreed to go ahead with an Emerald Triangle golf course in the border region linking the three nations.
The agreement was reached at a meeting in Champasak town of Laos on Saturday between Thai Foreign Minister Surakiart Sathirathai and his Lao and Cambodian counterparts, Somsavath Lengsavad and Hor Nam Hong, respectively.
Somsavath Lengsavad announced that the three countries would work to boost tourism and the collaboration of local people within the region.
Meanwhile Hor Nam Hong confirmed that Cambodia was working to clear landmines in the area and expressed confidence in the success of the project. The so-called Emerald Triangle region spans around 12 sq. km of land in the border region linking Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
