and foreign tourists cross the border to Myanmar to do some cheap shopping,while
many Burmese and Shan come to sell goods, find some work or beg for money. Drug trafficking and human trafficking are a big business in Mae Sai and are a huge problem. In the recent years not only young Thai girls have been lured into prostitution, but more and more girls from the hill tribes, the Shan state, Mynamar, Laos and China's southern provinces have been brought into Thailand to sell them to brothels nationwide as well as abroad. Amphetamines are available for less than 50 Cents. Discrimination, poverty, illiteracy, the high mortality rate amon the hill tribes and the high HIV rate(95% of Mae Sai's prostitutes are approximately infected) are further problems. Information
