A Thai soldier removes opium poppies from a hilly area of Tak province during an annual search and destroy opium eradication operation, 450km north of Bangkok on January 23, 2007. Anti-narcotics officials say that the opium growing area in Thailand, mainly in the upper land bordering Myanmar, have shrunk by six folds to 360 acres this year from five years ago. But the production yield did not fall as fast because growers had increased their productivity through a better irrigation system. REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang (THAILAND)
