    Cool Myanmar/Burma-Shan State

    These Burmese Division & State maps look like they might have been produced by some Myanmese state agency and looks a bit dated; but they are still being by what I guess may be a state-approved tourist agency.

    The Homepage also has railway map links

    You might want to look out for Bernard Ferguson's 'Beyond the Chindwin' for further background. Ferguson was a bit of a maverick who went on to advise on special ops in the 'Malayan Crisis'. I believe this book is on sale in Asia Books.

    Shan State & Tatmadaw Pipedreams

    Fairly detailed map of Shan State for your delectation here; to download and view at a readable size in your own graphics program. Provided by Thailand's Office of Narcotics Control Board, http://www.oncb.go.th/emain.htm and presumably showing Opium Caravan Routes. (One feels there must be some reason why they discontinued the link showing Opium fields in Thailand in each province ):-



    Also of interest must also be the following site which obviously follows the Tatmadaw PR line on drug eradication. They rightly point out the two-faced attitude from everyone since the the British on. And the KMT should certainly be held to account on this one. Naturally, they ignore their own highly dubious role:-

    http://www.myanmar-narcotic.net/eradication/15drug.htm
    This image is too low-res for any accurate viewing:-


    Also check out the homepage of Myanmar's Central Committee for Abuse Control for further strategically barefaced half-truths:-
    http://www.myanmar-narcotic.net/

    Including their very own heavily spun version of the Khun Sa saga and 'how he finally saw the wisdom of the Tatmadaw':-

    Angry Myanmar/Burma

    The weird thing about Myanmar is that despite the secretive nature of the Junta, there are some interesting maps of it available online; and not all of them placed there by the numerous anti-Junta websites.

    That said, 'Salween Watch' is obviously one organization which finds dam & hydro projects on the Salaween (I believe the Junta prefer 'Thanlwin') somewhat less than transparent. The map page includes maps that show villages where forcible relocation has occurred; rape and murder being just two of the military tactics employed during these relocations. As always, Japanese & Thai companies seem to figure heavily in the projects that require such relocations:-

    http://www.salweenwatch.org/maps.html

    One of the included maps:-
