I believe this particular visit by "Senior General Than Shwe and his 
40-strong delegation including junta first secretary Lt.Gen Khin Nyunt, 
Foreign Minister Win Aung and Border,Ethnic Development Minister Major 
Gen Thein Nyunt is nothing more than to try to contain the Burmese 
junta's direct involvement in narcotic narcotics trade in the Golden 
Triangle area and to cool down the clashes between Thai and Burmese Navy 
and fishing boats in the disputed areas of the Andaman Sea off 
southwestern Thailand in exchange for Thailand' assured support to try 
to get Burma accepted for the forth coming EU meeting in Berlin.

There could be no other reasons for Than Shwe's to visit to Thailand at 
this point of time when Thailand could not afford to think of further 
investment in Burmese economy. What more can you expect to achieve from 
this visit of "Ali Ba Ba of Burma and his 40-thieves" to Thailand.
