Amagorha omkhosi weGolden Triangle atshintshe imipu, amayeza okhenketho

Imijelo ejikeleze ihlathi yoMzantsi-mpuma weAsia iGolden Triangle yahlula imihlaba emibini.

Kwelinye icala, eThailand, abakhenkethi abanezithende ezintle bayakonwabela ubunewunewu bendawo ekuchithelwa kuyo iiholide iAnantara neeSine Seasons. Kwelinye, eMyanmar, iikharavani ezazithwele i-opium, amatye anqabileyo kunye nejeyidi zisahamba kwiindlela ezifihlakeleyo zeentaba. Okuninzi kuhlala kufihliwe nakowona mhambi uphambili kulo mmandla okhula i-opium apho imida yaseMyanmar, iThailand neLaos zidibana khona.

Ukanti enye imfihlo eyikhuphileyo yileya ibizwa ngokuba yiLost Army, amajoni amaTshayina ashiywa ngo-1949 yinkokeli yawo u-Chiang Kai-shek owabalekela eTaiwan emva kokoyiswa ngummeli wakhe wamaKomanisi uMao Zedong kwilizwe lase China.

Babanjiwe kwiphondo elisemazantsi-ntshona eYunnan, imikhosi yeCandelo le-93 likaChiang lenze umlo wokubuyela kwi-Golden Triangle edibeneyo, apho baqala khona amalinge angamampunge okuhlasela ilizwe labo lase China. Okokugqibela, abo basindayo babetha isivumelwano neThais: bavunyelwa ukuba babeke i-mini-state ezimeleyo njengembuyekezo yokukhusela imida esemantla eThailand kubavukeli bengingqi bobukomanisi.

Indawo abayikhethileyo yayiyincopho yentaba ebizwa ngokuba yiMae Salong, iikhilomitha ezili-15 ukusuka kumda waseBurma, apho amathambeka ayegutyungelwe ziipoppies ezibomvu namhlophe. UGeneral Lei Yutian, umphathi-mkhosi wokugqibela woMkhosi Olahlekileyo, ubonakalisa inguqu kwiGolden Triangle ukusuka kwibala leziyobisi ukuya kwindawo yabakhenkethi.

Imipu kwiiKhalityhuleyitha

"Kuqala size nemipu," utshilo uLie, 93, ngelixa wayephunga iti kwigadi yeentyatyambo eyenziwe ngobunono neyayikade iyindawo yokubonisa apho wagrumba khona umkhosi wabucala onamandla angama-20,000 XNUMX. Emva koko saba ngabalimi. Ngoku sisebenzisa izixhobo zokubala. ”

Ezo zibalo zixakeke ngokubala kade ukubala izibonelelo zokhenketho njengoko abaqhubi bezokhenketho abanjengoAnantara bakha iihotele ukuhlalisa abakhenkethi abazizityebi abangena nzulu kwiintaba ezigutyungelwe yinkungu yonxantathu, umda owawungenamthetho apho imida yeThailand, iMyanmar neLaos idibana khona. .

Igumbi i-Anantara elinamagumbi angama-77 libonelela ngonyango lwe-spa, izidlo zaseThai kunye namagumbi angama-400 ebusuku ngobusuku kunye neebhalkhoni ezijonge uMlambo iMekong kwindawo kanye apho la mazwe ahlangana khona. Kufuphi, ikhonkco lehotele lamaXesha amane lenze inkampu yeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu, nganye intente eyi- $ 2,000-ngobusuku eneebhafu zayo zobhedu.

Zombini iindawo ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide zinika iindwendwe ithuba lokuncokola nomhlambi weendlovu kwaye ziqeqeshelwe ukuba ngumqeqeshi. Kufuphi, iHolo yeOpium ibalisa ibali elinemibala kunye nobundlobongela kurhwebo lukanxantathu wegolide.

"Ukutsala apha kuyinxalenye yendalo," utshilo u-Bodo Klingenberg, umphathi jikelele wase-Anantara waseJamani xa sasisitya i-fresco ecaleni kwendlela yerayisi, ejongwe yinyathi yamanzi amhlophe kunye nethole layo elinamehlo. “Kodwa ikwayimfihlakalo yeGolden Triangle.”

I-China eThailand

Inkokeli yeLost Army ngelo xesha, uGeneral Duan Shiwen, waba ligorha lemfazwe, ngokutsho kwencwadi ka-Alfred W. McCoy yowe-1972 ethi “The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia,” waphinda wenza iqela lamaTshayina angaphambi kovukelo ngaphakathi eThailand - iitempile nezindlu ezinomahluko uphahla olugobileyo lwaseTshayina, iivenkile zokutyela ezisebenzisa ukutya okumnandi kwaseYunnanese kunye nabemi abathi, ngaphandle kokutshata kunye nezizwe ezisezindulini kunye neThais, baqhubeka nokuthetha isiMandarin Chinese kunye neziyelelane ezahlukeneyo zaseYunnan.

UDuan wasweleka ngo-1980. Lowo wangena ezihlangwini zakhe, uGeneral Lei, uyakhanyela nakuphi na ukubandakanyeka kurhwebo lweziyobisi, kodwa waqhubeka nomlo owawulahlekile womkhosi nxamnye nabavukeli bobukomanisi.

Njengomvuzo, abakwaThais banika uLee kunye nabemi bakhe. UMae Salong wabizwa ngokuba yiSantikhiri, okuthetha ukuba yiNduli yoXolo, nangona uninzi lusasebenzisa igama lantlandlolo. Urhulumente wakhe indlela yemozulu yonke edibanisa neChiang Rai, ikomkhulu lephondo elisemantla eThailand. Umkhosi olahlekileyo ungene ungene kubanda.

Ukukhula kweTi

Ngaphantsi kweLeyi, amajoni amadala kunye nenzala yabo baye bathatha imisebenzi yoshishino olusemthethweni. U-Chamroen Cheewinchalermchot, oneminyaka engama-52, unyana wekholoneli, uye wamkela zombini ukhenketho kunye nokulima iti. Uqhuba i-Mae Salong Villa, ihostele ecocekileyo, netofotofo enamagumbi angama-30 ngobusuku ajongene namasimi avelisa iti ye-oolong yodidi oluphezulu.

Unxantathu kudala ekuhambo loobhaka kunye nabahambi bebaleka iindawo zokutyela ezisempuma zaseThailand zomoya opholileyo wasemantla opholileyo, ngakumbi ngexesha lonyaka owomileyo phakathi kuka-Okthobha naphakathi ku-Epreli ka-Epreli umthendeleko wamanzi woNyaka oMtsha waseThai, obizwa ngokuba yiSongkran.

Ngoku, abahambi abafuna ubunewunewu kunye nokufikeleleka kunye nokuzonwabisa bafumanisa ukuba banokuzifumana zonke ezi zinto ngokuthatha uhambo lweyure ukusuka eBangkok ukuya eChiang Rai.

Xa sele ulapho, iiholide zeAnantara kunye neeSine zamaxesha, kunye nezokhenketho ezinje ngeMae Salong zinokufikelelwa ngaphakathi kwimizuzu engama-90 ngendlela.

Iphenyane elide elinomsila

Ndikhethe ukufika ngendlela ethe kratya. EChiang Saen, izibuko lomlambo elityebileyo elalikade lilikomkhulu lobukumkani bamandulo, ndakhwela i hang hang, okanye isikhephe esinee-taila ezinde ezinomsila omde, owamisa i-Mekong, wajika phakathi kwecala lase-Thai ne-Lao ukuphepha ngaphambi kokundifaka kwindawo enamanzi amaninzi.

Apho, kwafika indlovu ehamba ngenqanawa phantsi komthi ukuze ibonelele ngezothutho kumlenze wokugqibela ukuya kwindawo yokubhenela eAnantara.

Ukuhamba ngehlathi elithuleyo le-teak, iGolden Triangle khange ibonakale yahluke kakhulu xa i-Lost Army yaqala ukubalekela. Ngaphandle kwalapho, ngelo xesha, kwakungekho spas okanye iibhafu zebhafu zobhedu ukuze uhlale phantsi ekupheleni kohambo. Kwaye abaphathi bemfazwe belo xesha babephethe imipu, hayi izixhobo zokubala.
