Rich Thai people meaby behind this or probably gang's I sure this people are just delivery boys but face long time in prison 

So now I  just want to see the cocaine get destroyed and not just end up on streets later on

Mules, means nothing. Plenty more where they came from.

While I praise the officers for their result, would it not be good to let them deliver the drugs to the Unnamed contacts and get them as well? 

[Colabamumbai]

Yes in any other country a controlled delivery would be made and the sentence shortened and more people out of the chain, but this is Thailand, only can think in the moment.....

Why not let them out and follow them till delivery point etc etc to catch the big boys if any directly involved or might be embarrassing? ?

i dont see Luang Prabang consuming such huge amount of cocaine.

Officially yes (for public consumption and to impress the world), in reality highly unlikely. Cronyism ranks second to corruption in the Kingdom

I cannot read the writing on the signs that the two Ethiopians are holding. I can only guess it says "We are dipsticks with single cell brains".

 

'Dipstick' = slang for idiot, loser, dips**t etc., etc. 

 

Plenty of space available to add your own interpretation.
