Mae Salong is a fairly isolated non descript town
deep in the highlands of the Thai-Burmese border area.
It's laid back style and quiet lifestyle hides a colourful
& chequered history.
When
Mao Tse Tung's red army swept southwards into Kunming
and through Yunnan, a few rag-tag battalions of the
nationalist army (Kuo Min Tang KMT) flied into neighbouring
Laos, Burma and Thailand. An entire garrison of almost
ten thousand men from the Chinese Nationalist 93rd
Infantry led by a General Tuan Si Woen settled in
Mae Salong and from there planned & plotted their
battles with the communists a short way away in China. |
