PHUKET: A Phuket Marine Police officer is one of four men who were arrested trying to smuggle an estimated 385kg of kratom onto the island early yesterday morning (Sept 5).

 

 

Acting on a tip-off, a team of Phuket provincial anti-narcotics special operations officers and police at the Phuket Check Point in Tha Chatchai were on the lookout for a vehicle carrying a large amount of kratom into Phuket early yesterday morning when at about 4:30am they noticed a blue Bangkok-registered Toyota Camry parked nearby.

 

Officers approached the Camry and found Eakkasit “Pak” Srijarung, 40, and Rachen Tohla, 21, sitting inside, said a report of the arrests by Danai Jaikheng, Chief Administrative Officer (Palad) of Phuket’s Muang District.

Sweet Jesus! You can't fill that car up more than that! And he is pointing at it, too! Double guilty.

I find this confusing. The smuggle vehicle is elsewhere, they have nothing incriminating in the car. Why admit to anything and point out where the smuggle car is?

Maybe new version of a show act by the BiB. Story makes no sense.

 

This check point is so easy to pass. If you are not totally silly and think little little bit then you will pass this check point easily with a 10 wheeler full of dope while sleeping behind the wheel.
