Vietnam police gun down drug lords in jungle hideouts

Huge volumes of meth worth $40 billion pass through the triangle between China, Laos and Thailand each year.

788 kilograms of the stimulant was found in a Thai northern province, heart of the infamous 'Golden Triangle' drug producing zone.

Laos shares a border with Vietnam and Thailand, an important 'Golden Triangle' smuggling hub for narcotics.

Drug trade is booming in the so-called Golden Triangle despite efforts by China and neighboring countries to police the area.
