Quite so, been to such an autonomous zone in northern Burma. The Chinese are more ruthless and more corrupt than the Thais so of course they have acquired land.

Their food is mainly imported, their cars are imported, they do their shopping in HK, Paris, Milan and Monaco. Their bank accounts are offshore and in New York or London. And what will they do? There is no Channel fashion show, men's tailors are not up to Saville Row or Milan standards. All in all even if rich people buy a pad here, they will spend little that benefits the Thao economy. Ralking of shopping, a rich friend used to offer well dressed Thai women a weekend of shopping in Hong Kong. It is a much more effective opening gambit than many. Very few turned him down, even married ones.

just the place if you like things run by criminal gangs although if you make the right connections you will be well protected.
