I think that is exactly correct. The area up near Shan state is a conflict area.
I lived in Burma for a year back in 1991, and flew all over the country (I was working as an aircraft pilot). I never heard anyone mention landmines, and I didn't have any concern about them myself. I wasn't exactly naive about mines, having just spent the previous 2 years in Angola, where the damn things are everywhere and I ran over mines twice whilst taxiing the aircraft.
