Until the 1980s, Thailand's northwestern province Mae Hong Son was known only to nomadic hill tribesmen, opium armies, Burmese border patrols, and the Thai military, who was involved in year round fights with the drug barons who ran opium plantations and heroin factories. An impenetrable jungle covered the misty hills where only hill tribesmen knew their way. Today the opium business is under control in Thailand (which does unfortunately not mean that is has stopped altogether; the drug barons have simply withdrawn into Burma and operate from there). |
