The American Drug Enforcement Agency says Khun Sa's army protects his drug interests, but Khun Sa says it's to continue his fight against the Burmese. He proclaimed independence for his Shan land from Burma in 1993. Ho Mong, Khun Sa's headquarters, is the size of a small city. A thousand new army recruits, all children, parade through a maze of well planned roads, houses, schools, temples and hospitals. The soldiers, often just nine years old, are press-ganged into service - many will never see their homes again. If they run away one of their family is executed. In 1977 Khun Sa promised to stop the opium trade in exchange for independence from Burma. To prove his innocence Khun Sa shows the pits in the ground where drug addicts are reformed. But the whole area, from growers to addicts, relies on the drug trade. In the Temple of the Last Chance Buddhist monks detoxify pathetic young Thai drug addicts by administering a herb drink makes them throw up.

Khun Sa passed away in 2007 and was buried in Yangon/Rangoon. He's survived by 8 children. Thank you.
Same year the movie American gangster was released, in the movie the drug lord who sells heroin to Frank Lucas is possibly based on Khun Sa
"Where did you get the seeds?" 'From my grandparents' Good luck trying to stop the flow of opium.

xEx xEx perfect example of “Asians always do it better”
that’s the root cause of why america’s inner cities are so violent and out of control. in the 70s even maybe up to the 90s the drug game was monopolized by key players who would be the “man” in their community. however once the US gov knocked these guys out through prison or killing them the drug empires were all split apart and they turn their cities into warzones.

This isn't just a drug kingpin story its about the poor struggling to survive
That's a dope drug rehabilitation centre my homie Kahn Sa is providing.
A friend of my parents went to Thailand to talk to Khun Sa .His name is Bo Gritz.He shot video of his meeting.Khun Sa allowed him to get to his compound.Bo is a highly decorated U.S. soldier.His reputation is what got him through Khun Sa's security.He told Khun SA the harm caused by his business.Khun Sa's accountant brought out the ledgers.Khun SA said I do business with the Americans at the Embassy.They pay me in gold.There is a reason he has survived as long as he has:Money and Power.He does for his people what the government never will.The Thai government built the all weather road right to his gate.
Bo is a great man. He went by himself up to ruby ridge when That shit show happened. When the us goverment shot amd killed randy weavers wife and son and wounded one of his friends. Bo got Randy to come down from ruby ridge and saved his friend who was seriously wounded. Imagine the hatred he felt toward the gov after killing his wife and son and would not come down off that mountain and was prepared to fight it out and die up there but had so much respect fo Bo that he came down peacefully off that mountain. What an amazing mam. Bo is. The gov really screwed up that whole ruby ridge incident and if it wasnt for bo it could of ended alot worse. There is a great documentary on youtube about the whole ruby ridge incident. bo is a hero
Ayo hold up your ppl know bo gritz??
Mate if you are in contact with Bo can you ask him if Khun Sa ever talked abt offering the Aust & British gov to pay him & his ppl a one off payment of 500m & help to grow sustainable legal crops the inhabitants could trade & prosper.This was late 80's early 90's.Apparently the gov's refused to deal with a drug dealing criminal.To eradicate his cultivating & production.He was the golden triangle.The Thai's built the road for a reason.Sure helped transporting it thru to Thailand.
Bullshit
My friend colonel Jack Bailey met with Khunsa back in t mid 80's get info about the {OW's being held in Laos. It was an operation I helped set up through some contacts of mine in Thailand.
I love these journeymanpictures docs. So varied and interesting.
His drug business would make a great show/documentary . His business/ situation is so controversial. Only because he was never killed or incarcerated. He has achieved a political status that only all other drug kingpins ever wish and wanted to achieve. He is Definitely one and I think will alway be one of the most underrated king pins of all time. This is the perfect example of what millennials like to call “The G.O.A.T”
Yes we would 🐐
He is the Asian of drug dealing, of course he was going to be the best.

"In 1988, Khun Sa Khun Sa offered to sell his entire heroin crop to the Australian Government for A$ 50m a year for the next eight years, a move that would have virtually stopped the heroin trade into both Australia and the United States overnight. The Australian Government rejected the offer, with Senator Gareth Evans declaring: “The Australian Government is simply not in the business of paying criminals to refrain from criminal activity.”
They don't want to stop it. Just control who profits.
cculb1 to many kickbacks & more benefits for the pollies.keep that wheel turning.
Now we have Afghanistan producing the majority for the civilized world...

Exactly
No shit I never knew that, and that proves they don't give a damn at all.
That's interesting.
He is the most wanted unwanted man ever . That’s a big statement
That black monk outta nowhere was the biggest surprise I've had in a while
Shows your ILLITERATE
Racy
Hahahhahahah
What you said wasn’t racist it was genius I was so surprised I jumped out of my seat and showed 3 of my friends they both had the same reaction
🤣
Am black and am surprised
Lol I love their "drug rehabilitation center". A pit in the ground you can sit in for 5 days and get off the smack.
5 days ain't s**t your still going to feel like S**t. That's brutal
Straight reab for real men!!!
Worst part of coming off smack and other very addictive drugs is no t coming off them don’t get me wrong that is brutal and I’d rather be locked somewhere for a few days so you can’t break and give up and go off and score drugs because you have in your mind from the first minute you go into that pit I’m not getting out of here so for 5 days even if you want to score you can’t. But as I was saying coming of the drug is brutal but living without the drug is even more brutal because nearly every person in the world has issues and some has has more issues and problems than others that’s why they take the drug to forget there problems and when you come of the drug all your problems will come flooding back and you can imagine the strength off the opium or heroin the kids are taking in these poor country’s that the poppy is grown and the price they pay for it I wouldn’t blame the people from them poor war torn country’s from taking drugs just to forget the shitty hand they were dealt in life the D.E.A can kill or capture all these drug lords but drugs like heroin cocaine crystal meth weed and many other drugs are here to stay and worse it’s getting not better.
U try it see how u feel
Coming offs one thing, the lack of sleep usually lasts for months after and can make you feel like you’re loosing your mind.
This would be a great story to make into a TV show, just like the "Narcos".
This is the time after Don Pablo, it could be the Narcos 2.0
Ken Hung I think we should move to Mexican cartels after Don Pablo
then everyone from Myannmar's gonna walk around like they're gangster.
@@bonson9156 ofc there is gangster everywhere
Hell yeah it would be one the best. His life and situation is more controversial. Only bc unlike any other drug pin, he was never incarcerated or killed.
Im from Nagaland India and a former addict, our state is so corrupted its easy for drugs to roam. Im still hooked on Weed that i grow myself so things are going quite smoothly. Drugs will only end if something better overshadows it. God bless you all.
its alright, smoke that earth baby, just make sure to lay off that other shit bruv
Weed is ok bro
Bullshit, this is not addiction! It’s love for a plant! Grow up and think with your mind
@@alemoras7672 calm down nobody’s trying to take your drugs bro. You sound like a junky
@@rockydubois2418 No, Ale Moras is correct. Weed is not addictive and is not a hard drug. It is literally a herb and too much of it can cause issues like anything, but it is not physically addictive.
I dont know about this channels new videos but these old docs they made are dope as hell. This was vice way before vice. Good job guys!!
I got alot of relatives over in one of the countries where the Golden triangle is and everyone knows it's the biggest business for police and politicians in the area, where do you think most of the drugs and money go after ? That's right, it's never gonna stop, the police and politicians will never let it stop.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for every single person who has ever overcome the fiery trial which is opiate/opioid WDs. Presently I can't make it past the three day mark but I will get there in the end, by the grace of God. With that said, although that hole in the ground detox is terrifying to contemplate, what a blessing it is in disguise unto all who have no other choice but to enter therein because with the presence of choice and softer routes to getting clean, you might just end up like myself, having become pussified over the course of time from continually telling yourself things along these lines "I'll just have to remain on maintenance for the rest of my life. Other peope do, it's a perfectly ordinary.". Or "I will begin to reduce my dose, albeit in another year's time, when I'm feeling stronger and more stable.", Vain and presumptious thoughts are these, such which must be taken captive and purged along with the addiction because, in all likelihood, those who pursue these schools of thought, only become weaker and ever more dependent, multiplying the difficulty that will be required in order for them to get clean by factors which will only be revealed in due time. To all those who have had success getting clean using maintenance, congratulations to you and I hope and pray you'll never cease to take a single day clean for granted, not that you might not be tempted but so that you might not yield when you are.
And if you pray, please pray for me, not that I would not become complacent with addiction/dependency and give up but that conviction would be present to help me pick myself back up off the floor and continue fighting the good fight when it happens.
Good luck. Hope you beat the dragon 🐉 you write excellent 👍
Alex cannabis oil works wonders and if taken in micro doses will leave you feeling straight but not bored. it is the mind that needs correction by saying to yourself." I will ignore all repetitive thoughts and actions".Serious sauna's and hot tube soaks will speed up the process and make you feel better. Also try not to lose weight as the opiates are principally stored in fat cells, making withdrawal much longer. I worked with many addicts and saved a few too! Stay Strong + Live Long! You are a STAR! Smart too!

You can do it, that is if you haven't already. I'm currently tapering off of methadone. Went from around 90mg in the beginning, to 45 for a while, and now I'm going down 5mg a week until l hit zero. Down to 20mg, so just 4 more weeks now. It hasn't been easy, but it hasn't been as bad as it could be. I'm sure it will suck once I hit 0mg, but the only thing you need to remember is that it will end sooner than you think if you just persevere, and just keep your eye on the prize.
Btw, technically they say that I'm going down too quickly. Generally people will go down 2-3mg every couple of weeks, so I wouldn't advise tapering as quickly as I am unless you, like me, are really hard headed and you have alot of willpower. Also, don't use methadone unless you're an actual heroin addict. Methadone withdrawals last about 1 week- 3 months depending on how you go about it. 1 week if you taper, 3 months if you go cold turkey.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as I battle through this myself.
@@petepenn1 try not to lose weight?
One of Kuhn Sa’s Grandson is my friend. I was born and lived in TarChiLeik city(in Golden Triangle).
When it came to power this man had the most.

FYI: This documentary was made in 1994, the Mong Tai Army surrendered in 1996 and Khun Sa died in 2007.
how he die?
cobydrei A Heroin overdose ?, LOL ;)
First guy ever to die of weed !
Владимир thank you for tellin us this this was years agooo
we (Thais) and DEA conduct a operation tiger trap to take down Khun Sa and his man down. but Luckily Khun sa and his man surrender to burma army for not go to court in USA.and Khun sa died because old age 7 years ago.
From around 1770 to 1820 sales of British, Dutch and American controlled opium in China had increased by 22,000%!
Khun Sa's operation was actually quite small by comparison. He also had
to deal with competition for the market from other drugs sources; cocaine, designer cocktails and crack (later replaced by crystal meth).
Inspite of western rhetoric drug abuse is encouraged in western nations because it makes wealthy backers (where are those offshore trust funds going?) even wealthier.

@@dmimz8593 legalise drugs
These Drug mafias Narco terrorists are now attacking Manipur India … killing thousands of innocent lives in 3rd May 2023…
@@dmimz8593of course many of us who are clued up know but 99% of the population believe that governments have zero involvement in drug importation and distribution and we must be protected from these drugs for our own good because of course….they only have our best interests at heart. FFS….the majority of the world’s populous still believes that we landed on the moon!!!
And on topic….why did the high grade and highly refined white heroin from this region get taken over by brown crude Afghan base heroin? Because it was a fresh marketing ploy pushed by global authorities as the “new safe heroin” knowing that smokable heroin would facilitate a whole new range of users who would have never in a million years considered IV drug use. I would also suggest that the golden triangle still continues to produces just much heroin as it always has but it will no longer be refined (#5) as it was before….Brown base heroin = more addicts = more government money and more destabilisation of society. Just what governments want!
I really appreciate this man he built a community city with the proceeds and had a back-up plan very nice.

Could be nice if it wasn't done by forced child labor who can't resist
@@disrael2101 life’s hard man. Child labor is a better alternative to dying from infection. Child labor is result of harsh life and most countries practiced it when building from scratch.
Those poor kids. Look terrified and most sad. It's brutal
Somehow I get the feeling that the "Drug rehab pit" is not a voluntary treatment center..
Fucking brutal. Im telling you comeing down from that shit can be sucidal. In a fucking pit holy shitt ... Just sick as fuck.
Forced rehab just makes people resent you especially if you make them suffer by putting them in a pit. The time after getting clean is the highest risk time for overdoses because they have no tolerance. They will likely use as soon as they get out to spite you as well.
she got that " Raw " !!
dea is here just to control the bizness, they don't want heroin ti disepear
H is their lifeblood, mate, the golden goose to milk the taxpayer into supporting their extravagant lifestyles near the jungles of the World, but Burma has always been the jungle of choice, since the waning days of the Empire
Yeah cuz its such a big money maker for them and the government
CIA is at the very top of the drug trafficking worldwide. The U.S. uses drugs around the world to control entire countries, to control people, to make money, to start wars, etc. etc. The poor people in these countries pay the price for the CIA so rich Americans can be billionaires in the U.S. John Kerry is one of them, his family has traded heroin to control China for over a 100 years. The CIA is just the way to control it all using the U.S. military budget. Very sad world.
That black monk looks like Leborn james
That's terrible how he forces their addicts to withdrawal in a locked pit. That's inhumane, dehumanizing, and dangerous. Although withdrawal is rarely fatal it can be.
It also sends a message, and keeps people from using opium. Better to make an example of a few then having hundreds or thousands of addicts.
When they are in the pit they should be pissed upon aswell to teach the junkie scum a lesson
borla64 you’re just a really helpful cog in society yourself aren’t ya? Lol you dumb fucker just wait till you have a child or sibling or close friend that’s an addict and see how you feel then
you cant die from heroin withdrawals
So much easier to detox off real heroin not these chemicals people are using in the states. It’s all fentanyl and other chemicals used to cut it, it makes the detox so much harder with weird symptoms.
You just know my man had a huge network of tunnels to go along with that compound !!
Love this. New knowledge .
Great documentary very interesting. I hope the situation in Burma has improved since this was filmed.
nope
Welp, this aged like milk.
The drug production in Myanmar (Burma) has changed mainly to methamphetamine since the retirement of Khun Sa (Heroin moved to Afghanistan). Nowadays, Myanmar's ehnic minority armies are second only Mexico's cartels in the production of methamphetamine

This is using footage from a 3 part documentary called the Heroin wars shot over a period of thirty years if you want to understand the hypocrisy of the war on drugs I highly recommend finding this documentary
Great reporting,👍👍👍

ofc for educational purposes lmao
Double Dragon
Hmmmmmmm
We are same ,skin but different rules,
You're right. That is a totally ridiculous concept. Handing over $50 million and destroying an illegal crop in its entirety is crazy. It makes way more sense to spend approx $144 billion/year financing a "war on drugs" where only a small percentage of said illegal crop is confiscated by the government and destroyed. The rest, of course, makes its way to a population of addicts to fuel plenty of crime, death, and suffering. But at least nobody is simply wasting money! :)
Great Documentary. Hidden gems of RUclips. BTW 22:47 Stallone ?
Great Work.
It’s the ugly truth of this thing we call “Life”... Sometimes you have to do bad to do good for your people!
Absolutely 💯 most people aren't good or evil and things aren't black or white most people and situations are grey some lighter shades some darker shades more good or evil but nobody is just good or evil
@@NYCfrankie No, there is pure evil and saint like good, and everything in between.
That's a gorgeous pic all bricks in room dam
It would be gorgeous if was in my bedroom. But the fact it's going to either be burnt, or more than likely line some politicians pockets, makes it ugly af imho.
Facinating doco!
i wonder if any of those child soldiers are still alive today. They would be about my age. Imagine being born into that. :(:(
Holy fuck!!! I thought I had it bad when I went through detox from methadone in jail. It was hell. I couldn't imagine being in a frickin pit in the ground. That has to be the closest feeling to actually being in hell.
Jail...pit in the ground...same difference. Bottom line, kicking opiates is hell. Period. Haha!!
I hope you're doing better these days though...
Jail is the best place to get off it.In Syd Aust if you were not on Methadone when you was locked up you did it rock solid & you got nothing.They changed that abt 15-20yrs ago. Just abstain & you get back to normal within 2-3 mths.Sleep once every 3-4 days in the 1st 6 weeks then you good as gold.Dont even think of using in there or you be a candidate for aids or Hepatitis.Then you get out & as sure as night follows day you back amongst it.That monkey on your back grows into a gorilla.
Yeah, not much fun. At least withdrawal from h, or opium is only around a week, as opposed to the several weeks that methadone can take.
"The most unwanted wanted man of the world"

Great show
Khun Sa Is On Different level then Pablo And El Chapo as far as he ran his empire. He lived Modestly wasnt into buying luxury cars, jewelry, Zoo, etc...he lived like a Modest Revolutionary Leader like Fidel or Che Gueverra Ho Chi Minh similar to them. Not Flashy at all Khun Sa was and in a way you have to respect that even tho if is considered a Billionaire. Could he have lived Lavishly, YES
Pablo & chapo are overrated asf. Roberto Suarez, El mayo, amando Fuentes, los Ochoa brothers ran it better then them
Too addicted to see this
I was gonna say that. Anyone kicking should avoid these videos. gotta watch what you watch in that condition. Great comment ....
I find it helps...just try and use it for good...overcome being bound by triggers, use them to strengthen

Ojala haya un video traducido.
Wow fantastic
Here we go again, marjiuana being a gateway drug when the real gateway drug is actually alcohol.
fr
there is no such thing as a gateway drug
it is merely a decision of the drug taker
But if you were to choose which drug out of Alcohol & pot is more likely to be a gateway to heroin , then it is marijuana with out a doubt.
Only because some pot dealers also sell Heroin , not because one innately leads to the other
To say alcohol is ever a gateway to heroin literally makes zero logical sense, and is silly.
so NO the real gateway drug is actually NOT alcohol.
Basically, the gateway drug is the easyest illegal drug to get. I say illegal because once you get in the habit of buying drugs off the black market, it's not such a big step to get a different one. But I met a guy who said that he tried heroin before he tried anything else. Because of where he lived, it was what was around, and he had never even heard of anything else until later. Once he heard of them, he used it, so in his case, heroin was the gateway drug.
A lot of young folks world wide start with solvents: glue, lighter fluid, gasoline, oven cleaner, liquid paper. It would be hard to ban all that stuff.
Basically, some people try drugs. Of those, some people, a minority, are inclined to become addicted to them. Of the latter group, they will tend to get hooked on whatever is around, including, yes, alcohol. So, the gateway drug theory has a grain of truth in it, trying one thing often leads to trying another. But it is flawed in the idea that getting rid of one drug will keep people from trying others.
Azulgo it was for me
I6t was for me, too. But if smack had ben the only thing around, I probably would have started with that. I knew folks who did.
So that was Bangkok looked like when I'm barely a year old...
I wonder how the dude in the pit used the bathroom lol. That SUCKS! Good lesson though, I know I wouldn’t want to do that more than once.
fascinating
I had never been exposed to Heroin, until rehab.
Very sad for the child recruit....💔
Experience is the best teacher and I have far too much 1st hand experience when it comes to those matters.
Physical withdrawls can and probably will be the worst pain you have felt or at least darn close. Does not make them impossible to go through.
I'm going to one of those rehabs.
The lady at 13;04 was hilarious. They took away all our chickens and food so we give them opium too 😁😂🤣
because they were scared. other people were beaten
Mhas' I suppose it dose sound strange to us but as well as their chickens & food they took away their men too
& did you see the children being trained as soldiers ? Well they came from the hill people also.Their lives are in danger.
Life is unbelievably difficult for the hill people they can't survive on growing anything else than opium.
You can go there & visit the hill people in Thailand as a tourist .
And if you ask them for some weed they'll tell you they can only sell you opium. ( Do not buy it though)
It's a big culture shock for us westerners .
And don't get me started on what is going on in the Red LLight districts.Sad is not the word.It's beyond sad !
She was referring to the Burmese military who came and stole everything including their men. She and her family then moved to the other side of the river and began supplying Khun Sa's people with opium. What else could they do to survive? This documentary is about people with lots of power and people with zero power.
Lol😅
Owww damn doing a cluck in that hole... I've done 3 cold Turkey withdrawals and I don't think that would help
this is 20yrs ago,things have changed a lot.

This video is definitely pre Afghanistan with their 6500 metric tons a year flowing directly through the CIA's pipeline!
it's fWaming
totally agree!!
A little historic but a good docco.......
99% of Khun Sa's solders are from forced induction?
That figure is both high and suspect, such a force would not be effective and your own life would constantly be in peril.
For all Khun Sa's flaws, it seems the hill people could have worse, I've heard him speak before, I believe he genuinely cares about his people.
I've been to the golden triangle it's pretty cool. You can see Laos, Burma and Thailand from one point. I believe they're closing the Thai - Burma border to tackle the drug smuggling. It's all yaba now, not as much hezza
Benji'sBigBoyReviews that might be just a way to get rid of competition so only one man can control and run the trade
The Chinese built a big casino/resort over on the Lao side. The Thai/Burma border is impossible to close down. Go up to Mae Sai or Fang or Mae Hong Song and look around: really rugged "dragon's tooth" mountains everywhere.
Excellent film!
I would like to know more about Khun Sa.
this man lived the rest of his life facing zero penalty. yet we repetitively lock up users and low level dealers on a daily basis.
Used literally pounds of his double 0 globe and Fish Eggs brand No.4 back in the early 80s onwards. Great gear but led to a lot of prison time and deaths of friends
I wonder if dope is even manufactured there anymore.
@@AFaceintheCrowd01yes. in australia, double 0 globe is easily the most common. though users have dropped significantly since the 2000s so production has scaled back an diverted toward methamphetamine production.
its only a matter of time before the heroin dries up and fentanyl takes its place, which will absolutely devastate this country.
i also work with former opium farmers from Myanmar who've sought out asylum here.
I've been inside his old house in Thailand a few times. My wife's family live near it, they are also Shan/Tai Yai, and moved there with him years ago.
Ya right
Burma is not Thailand?
@@judeisnot_rude correct. For some years his house and headquarters was in a town called Hin Taek (now named Thoet Thai) in Chiang Rai province in the north of Thailand. This area was the biggest producer of opium during his time there, which eventually caused the Thai authorities to force him out. Many of the Tai Yai (Shan) people stayed there. You can visit his old camp. About 20 minutes north of the town, across the border is an active base for the Shan State Army - South, the main Shan rebel group created after the dissolving of Khun Sa's army.
Royal patronage....a wonderful thing!
does anyone really believe this guy would stop making money off opium once he gained complete power?
nope
Having an addictive personality sucks...
Johnny K. bruh no joke
This shit is so funny lmfao
***** Much more complicated, let's just say it's a full blown addiction...
***** Still chasin' the dragon...I cannot stress enough how fucked up it is when you're intrinsically inclined to an addictive personality and ODC coupled together...it's fucking a nightmare...I made 72k last year and most of it went to, well you know...separated from the wife, daughter...just a fucking nightmare which I cannot get myself out of. The wife called yesterday actually, every time she does the first thing she asks is, "are you clean yet??!!!" She still holds out hope for us which is endearing...I would've wrote myself off years ago.
People who don't have an addictive personality don't get it...they just don't. I'm a Sagittarius as well, "triple doom" I call it, we're fucking gluttons...we take from life till' life has nothing left to give...I wish I was like a nun who's never known sin.
What music is it that is playd in between in this video? I mean the choir?
This document was random on my recommendation RUclips list and I just wanna know about drugs lord but turn out unexpected that’s Khun Sa, Va Dang, Lao Ta and Mong Thai are ppl I used to met when I was young and never knew their real name. Only knew they’re my mother’s friends since she’d was 8 years old and they’re like kindness uncle and always told me “My niece, promise me one thing Don’t touch any drugs when you’re grownup.” Now I understand and still hold on my promise with em
You know that a car can run out of fuel, you also know a human can run out of life. And even though you (as a casual drug user) know much about drugs, you also know that you can die of a car accident.

Truth is the truth, he spoke this truth......
having used and made it out of life as an opiate addict i sympathise for those who have to go through rehab in that manner, in a pit in the ground. using other drugs to help me quit and having the support of my family and friends was hard enough i nearly couldn't even do it that way. i think that would be a week of hell that not many people would come through as the same person

That being said, I don't use drugs. Anymore. Lol...
did you discover your female side inside jail?
Woow
