The Golden Triangle straddling Thailand, Laos and Myanmar’s borders is notorious as the main production base of illegal drugs that are sold in Thailand. Sirinya said he was told at a recent Safe Mekong meeting that some Taiwanese people had invested in drug making in the Golden Triangle. When we seized 10 million meth pills, they increased the production capacity to 20 million or 30 million,” Sirinya said. He said that during the first three months of the 2018 fiscal year that started in October, Thai authorities seized 50 million meth pills. Ten of the seizures were in big shipments of more than a million pills, the ONCB chief added.
