The study documented the massive ATS flow through Cambodia: UNODC estimated 100,000 methamphetamine tablets entered Cambodia daily from the Golden Triangle via northeastern borders, with 75% re-exported to Thailand. Battambang and Banteay Meanchey provinces were identified as "hot spots" for Thai-origin ATS trafficking. Cannabis appeared only as a survey checkbox option alongside yaba, glue, ecstasy, and heroin, but was not reported as a significant drug of use among the youth sample. The study confirmed US State Department assessments that "corruption remains pervasive in Cambodia" and documented local corruption networks where arrested drug sellers were released after paying fines.]]
