After two years they were told to leave, and so with their packed mules the whole KMT community wandered over the mountains into Mae Salong where they were allowed to settle by the Thai government on the condition that they prevent communist infiltration into northern Thailand. From the beginning as an opium fiefdom they have gained respectability by changing from growing opium to cash crop cultivation.
