VietNamNet Bridge – Cambodia, Laos and Thailand have agreed to set up more border liaison offices (BLO) to detect and prevent the transport of drugs from the Gold Triangle to the three countries’ borders.

Nothing will change...

For example, Cintri is one of them, involving with drugs.
So who can stop them.

Well, you can't be perfect all the time. There will always be some greedy and corrupted officials who get into illegal activities, but their time will run out soon enough if they don't stop.
