A man from Nakhon Si Thammarat was arrested Friday night aboard a train at the Hua Hin station, allegedly with 10,000 meth pills and 99 grams of crystal meth.

 

Acting on a tip-off, police at the Hua Hin railway station searched the bag of Ratthaphum Boonchuay, 25, at 8pm on Friday and found the drugs.

 

He was aboard the Bangkok-Sungai Kolok train.

 

The man, from Nakhon Si Thammarat’s Thung Song district, said he was paid Bt16,000 to take the drug from Bangkok to deliver to a recipient in Thung Song.

Hmm, this is the second time in a few weeks that someone has been busted at the Hua Hin train station for drug transport.  I wonder who & why someone is tipping of the BIBs?

I'll guess someone much higher up the drug chain is tipping them off to keep their eyes elsewhere while major shipments go through. Possibly a relative with the BiB whom they hope will rise in the ranks due to their eagle eyed diligence. Then they can really start moving their poison once their person is the boss.

Another reason to legalise ....
