Thailand is one of the biggest sources of arms for drug warlords of the golden triangle, and for the Ethnic Armed Organizations resisting the military junta in Burma. This may have an unintended consequence of harming such efforts and pushing them to seek weapons elsewhere.
Sorry but im not sure I understand your comment. What do drug warlords want from more guns? Dudes are sitting on mountain tops watching farms lol there are no active fighting or engagements going on that warrant thousands of guns.
Most of it is for the massively oversized police and military departments and good old money laundering.
