Victory over Drugs 2006 -2008, during the year 2006. (2) Applying the results of the
study for improving and using as a guideline for working along with other units
involved in order narcotics problems along Thai – Burma border under the 3rd Army
regiment. To achieve the maximum efficiency in the research, the sample population
used was 171 community leaders along Thai-Burma border. In the analysis of the data,
One-Way Analysis of Variance technique was used for finding correlation between
independent variables and dependent variables; and for testing the reliability t-test was

The result of the study found that in the opinion of most of the community
leaders, the results of operations for solving narcotics problems along Thai- Burma
border by the 3rd Army regiment was at the level of High. The operation which was
the most successful is working on public relationship of the Internal Security
Command. It was found also that getting educated or participating in courses on the
narcotics problem and ways to solve them arranged by the soldiers affected the
opinions of the community leaders on the results achieved by the 3rd Army regiment.
The most important recommendation is that the 3rd Army regiment must
coordinate its forms of work and goals clearly and in the form of group determination.
The 3rd Army regiment must consider the public relations work as one of the most
important works for solving the narcotics problems. It must take seriously the policy
of declaring war against drugs and continue. It should support the communities along
the Thai-Burma border on various matters seriously and continuously. There should be
inspection tours of the area periodically. Soldiers who commit narcotic offences must
be severely punished both under law and according to Army regulations. It must also
let the communities have a role to participate and organize into a network for solving
narcotics problem.
