My father(Khun Sa) was one of the most notorious drug lords of the modern world. He was born in 1933 in the Shan states of Burma, with a Chinese father and a Shan mother.
Khun Sa thrived in the area that came to be known as the Golden Triangle which, in the 1960s and 1970s, remained one of the wild places of the world. Thickly forested and mountainous, travel in the region was treacherous and it was not difficult to maintain opium poppy fields far from human gaze. Eventually, American air power was deployed to search out these fields and now they have been all but eradicated. The problem has not gone away, though, since those involved have switched production to methamphetamines, which can "apparently" be produced quite conveniently in a small factory.KHUN SA
For decades, Khun Sa symbolized the seeming impunity of heroin traffickers in the Golden Triangle, the area encompassing the northern reaches of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.Khun Sa was a guerrilla leader in the separatist movement of the Shan, the ethnic group linguistically related to the Thais who inhabit northeast Myanmar. His drug empire traded opium for guns and used the weapons to consolidate his control over large swaths of the rugged, remote and impoverished Shan region.At the height of his power, in the 1980s, he controlled an estimated 70 percent of the country’s heroin business, which enabled him to finance an army of tens of thousands of soldiers and large-scale heroin laboratories..............
