 * The Opium War referred to was an engagement involving 1400 men, at the end of July 1967, between the KMT and Khun Sa in an Laotian bordertown. Rattikone used his airforce to bomb the lot and captured 16t of Opium which he used for his private enterprise. This action made him the prime mover in Laotian Opium smuggling.
