 Thais, Burmese to
 develop towns

 Chiang Rai

 Thai and Burmese authorities plan to join hands to develop border
 towns as tourism spots.

 The plan to promote tourism along the border was raised by Burmese
 military leaders during yesterday's religious ceremony celebrating a
 replica of ancient Shwe Dagon stupa in Burma's Tachilek town.

 Burma wants to use the 50-metrehigh stupa as a selling point to draw
 tourists to Tachilek. It also plans to turn other border towns into
 tourism attractions.

 Maj-Gen Suthin Chankrachang, deputy commander of the Third
 Army Area and Chiang Rai Governor Wicharn Chaiyanant, who led
 the Thai delegation to the ceremony, promised to cooperate with
 Burma to develop the border areas and proposed Burma launch
 promotional activities to draw tourists from China.
