An army officer used to say that ” it is likely stupid if we considered to destroy the opium growth in our country”.
In the long-run, the natural growth of teak-woods in the Shan State are almost to be gone as tons of teak log have been illegally transporting to China and Thailand.But the opium trees, which have to be cultivated but it can be grown in a short time and has easy way to make money, will never be gone.
There are many armed groups including Rebel, Defense force, militancy are being independently involved with drug trafficking without harassment of the military Government.
The Burmese army from battalion commanders to Brigadier Generals regularly based across the Shan State are being the share-holders in the drug-running business due to mutual interests made between the out-law groups and the military authorities.
The most strategic area to be prevented is in the Thailand-Shan State boders.
Thousands of the Burmese soldiers are on alert and deploying along the route closed to border apparently from Nong Uk of Chiang Dao to Mong Go opposite Mae Sai.
Mong Go is situated in north of Takilek city and on the Mae Kong river bank and opposite Laos.
It is very freedom to export the drug from the Mong Go to the Laos soil which is linking to Vietnam border.
