Being the main city on the Southern Silk Road (aka Burma Trail), the city was now still filled by travellers from all over the world in the booming travel industry. With the immense growth in domestic & foreign tourists, along brought much to be dealt with in, the limited capacity to process the remains left by the millions. to what extend? we'll be extending & beyond...
