She told Frontier she was also staggered at the scale of the new city of high-rise hotels and gaudy casinos that, in less than four years, had sprouted up on this obscure stretch of the Thai-Myanmar border in Kayin State. It is 16 kilometres north of the trade hub of Myawaddy, opposite the Thai city of Mae Sot. Frontier drove north of Mae Sot in late April, to view the new city from the Thai side of the river and see how it had changed since a visit to the area two years before.
In place of dusty construction sites were gleaming multistorey hotels with neon signs in Burmese and Chinese, and workers were scaling the scaffolding of new buildings under construction. The new city project — a partnership between an expatriate Chinese investor and an ethnic Karen Border Guard Force under the Myanmar military — has clearly enjoyed a reversal in fortunes since a Myanmar government probe in brought the seemingly illegal construction work to a halt.
Interviews with residents and workers revealed a booming economy fuelled by Chinese money. An official at the Department of Immigration in Myawaddy, who asked not to be named, told Frontier in May that there were 1, Chinese nationals legally residing at Shwe Kokko.
An unknown number are believed to be working there illegally. A report by the Karen Peace Support Network, a civil society group, in March estimated up to 10, mostly illegal Chinese workers, although the subsequent COVID pandemic has since altered informal migration patterns. Myo Naing claimed not to know what happened in the building he was paid to guard, and Naing Tin said that he and the other residents of the original village settlement of Shwe Kokko were barred from entering the new city without prior permission from the BGF, which keeps tight control over the area.
The lawless environment of Shwe Kokko, in a border area carved up between different armed groups in a multi-decade civil war, meant it could provide such a haven. Despite this possibility, evidence for online gambling at Shwe Kokko has so far been only circumstantial. However, investigations by Frontier have found what appears to be a growing industry of online scams operating from the new city, of which gambling may only be a part.
