According to Mrs Djayz, "yaba" is a big problem with the younger lads in our one street, no 7/11 village. Kind of understandable considering they do nothing all day long, have no hobbies/interests that stimulate them physically or mentally are are allowed to ride around on motorbikes from dawn to dusk.

This bust was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm surprised it is shipped around in such huge amounts, if this is just one of many, Thailands drug problem is significant to say the least. 

The profit margins on meth, yaba, ketamine etc etc are so high that even if nine in ten shipments are intercepted, the suppliers are still making a vast fortune on the single batch that makes it through.

Once again they got the driver..... so what about the money men behind it?

Try doing some real police work to stop the drugs!

Ohhh another thing, how about publicly showing the destruction of the drug haul?

As one other contributer said on this forum  the staggering numbers of drugs beggars belief, and also questions how can  the pushers make so much money. Economic reports indicate high levels of debt amongst the Thai population would appear to contradict that money is readily available to spend on drugs

No money, no problem.

Go steal, rob, pickpocket, bag snatch etc.

Addiction is a main driver for such crime.

No different from other countries.
