Day 18, personal daily challenge. Today I failed the challenge. Very busy day. Failed to create new today so I grabbed a random favorite from the phone. M262

The largest ethnic minority in Burma, the Shans speak a northern Thai language and, since they watch Thai television, can understand standard Thai. That made it possible for me to communicate, as most people do not speak English. Their history is difficult: the Shans fought the British three times in the nineteenth century and in recent decades have been in an intermittent civil war with the Burma Army. Another element of the Shan State population are the hill tribes.
Since the 1960s, under various warlords, the Shan State became a major opium-growing area, with narcotics an important source of revenue; more recently, production of meta-amphetamines for sale in Thailand has supplemented or replaced income from opium. It is difficult to see the economic basis for Chiang Tung, a pleasant town with substantial houses and without obvious signs of poverty, located in a countryside of subsistence agriculture. This indicates that displacement of the narcotics economy that has sustained the town in the past is not likely to be easy or without economic hardship.
