Users smoke meth in an overgrown Chinese

cemetery in the Myanmar border town of Tachileik

s billion-dollar meth lab

Deep in the Southeast

Asian jungle, drug cartels

run an operation so huge it

makes El Chapo look like a

street corner pill pusher.

netherworld and you find

something else too: a lawless

narco Vegas where the worst

human excesses are making

some people very, very rich...
