webfact Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Image Credit: Manager Online Thai security forces shot and killed 15 hill tribesmen and seized an unspecified quantity of illegal narcotics as they were trying to cross the border from Myanmar into Fang district of Chiang Mai last night (Wednesday). A contingent of troops and paramilitary rangers, from the Pha Muang Task Force, was sent to the mountainous border area in Mon Pin sub-district to intercept the smuggling operation, as part of their anti-drug campaign. As the forces laid in wait along the jungle trail used by drug traffickers, about 20 men showed up with backpacks. The troops told the men to stop for a search, but were fired upon.

How long have you lived here? Just 35 years ....well they weren't all eliminated some escaped back into Burma , I am sure the drugs will be handed in so the Police can get their nice reward* , if they will end up on the streets again neither of us know for sure , it's not a given , or is all that stuff they burn every so often ,sawdust and flour ? * think it's 30% of the value. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only retrieved 1 gun and a hand grenade. Sounds like a complete massacre. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought to, knowing who control the drugs in our village, you know somebody stepped over their territory and made someone do a massacre in own interest. Not one Policeman hurt?

Any, all, condone, support of or whatever… If one can’t deduce idioms and read between simple lines of the English language, then maybe not fluent in English or a diminished capacity of some sort.
