But again Foo’s luck would not last. With the beginning of World War I the trade route for Bali Kratom had become common knowledge, the Dutch colonial forces had seized full control of the trade along the coasts of Java and Bali, and what was not lost to the pirates and the Dutch or went down in tropical storms went to Foo’s competitors.

But still fate would smile on Foo: 1916 one of his junks capsized in sight of the beaches of southern Thailand, in the waters of what until recently had been the independent sultanate of Pattani. All the sailors survived, the ship could be saved, and from Pattani they brought home a completely new Kratom strain: Maeng Da.

Just as before with Indo Kratom and Bali Kratom, Maeng Da proved to be better still than any of it’s predecessors.

By then Foo had suffered the usual maladies from age and too heavy a workload, his body had become used to the constant input of Bali Kratom, and the new Maeng Da Kratom came to him like a gift from heaven.

For the rest of his life, Foo would hold Maeng Da Kratom in his highest esteem. Already from the 60s - the cultural revolution ravaged communist China, Foo spent his days in a labor camp with no chance of ever getting any Kratom again - dated one of his last diary entries: “When I remember my childhood among the opium addicts of Kunming, I would never have dreamt that there could be as plant as powerful as opium, but without the evil of the black resin. In Maeng Da Kratom I finally found it, and may fate grant me one more chance again: to get Maeng Kratom once more and let it refill all the energies and all the hopes I have lost on my long way.”
