26 FEBRUARY 2008 -- MYAWADDY, MYANMAR: Pool players in a pool hall in Myawaddy, Myanmar (Burma). Pool was brought to Burma during the British colonial era and is now played throughout the country. 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.
