Golf Anyone?

Golden Triangle warlord Khun Sa is building an 18 hole golf course
near his Homong headquarters in the southern Shan State of Burma. 
The golf course is meant for the many visiting Thai, Taiwanese,
Singaporean, Hong Kong and South Korean businessmen who are
flocking to buy precious gem stones at his new gem centre in
Homong.  However, Burmese Government troops are preparing for
renewed attacks against his strongholds hear the Thai border, which
may disrupt the construction of the golf course.
