26 FEBRUARY 2008 -- MYAWADDY, MYANMAR: A woman carries Burmese rice cakes through the market in Myawaddy, Myanmar (Burma). Myawaddy is just across the Moei River from Mae Sot, Thailand and is one of Myanmar's leading land ports for goods going to and coming from Thailand. Most of the businesses in the town are geared towards trade, both legal and illegal, with Thailand. Human rights activists from Myanmar maintain that the Burmese government controls the drug smuggling trade between the two countries and that most illegal drugs made in Myanmar are shipped into Thailand from Myawaddy.
