Oh no a true agricultural dilemma, makes one wonder where it was grown and processed. As the article states: "The Thai media further reported that there was online speculation as to where the drugs came from in Thailand."  Hmmm, agriculture former convicted man......

The drug lord inside the junta government may have a bad day to day ????

Just weighed the additive packet in my noodles = 4gm. So 61,000 gms would need 15250 packs of noodles.

Woul make no difference to me. I'm already hooked on instant noodles.

Better get to Makro and buy up some boxes as they could have a special ingredient inside much like the surprise inside the box of Crackerjacks.

No wonder my neighbor was cartwheeling up and down the soi yesterday after his morning bowl of instant noodles. And silly me assumed he had perhaps won the lottery.

Doesn't sound like a heroin high to me. Those noodles were probably laced with Yah Bah.

I somehow find the word noodle funney! Sounds like a brand of self lubricating gel for jackoff

Power of noodle 

Asian noodle power

That could well be. Now that I am thinking about it, he actually cartwheels EVERY morning.

[harada]

I wonder how many tines this lot has been seized.

[mtls2005]

Wow!

 

Thailand does seem to be the hub of a hefty share of the world's supply of illegal drugs.

 

Interesting that this can flourish under the watchful eyes of the Police, Military, and current regime.

 

No shame on these guys,

hmmm.  So the key here is the large number of packets.  So some sort of processing facility would be needed.  An obvious place to start might be the plant the noodles allegedly came from or similar noodle processing plants?

I do remember reading a couple of years ago that the instant noodles from Korea had ' Not Poodles ' written on the cups.

The war on drugs is impossible to win. Now all of that supply is gone which just makes it more lucrative for the next guy to try it

I think they did that to distinguish them from the kind that had poodles as an ingredient.

That was obviously wrong. It was supposed to read "Fat Doodles", actually.

It would be if the Thai Authorities were actually interested in finding out but someone in a very high position in the Gangster HQ of Government House already knows where it is done and no investigation will be required !

There is no way the sender is Thai, he is definitely Burmese.

[SCOTT FITZGERSLD]

did they pay for it with fake USD money?

Thailand is reporting exports are up the past few months.

[Sydebolle]

The miracle repeated itself. Did anyone inform the Pope or the nuns in Fatima or Lourdes? Where else do instand noodles or flour turn into heroin without anyone involved or guilty? My goodness .........

Those packets in the photo look quite large, so they probably mean bulk packets of noodle additive. Maybe 61 x 1KG packs.

[cyril sneer]

what a waste

[rickudon]

I wonder if this will lead back to anyone important in Thailand?

[sharecropper]

Interesting that this is the second large Thai-Hong Kong shipment to be uncovered since the Chinese clamped down in HK. Maybe the game is up with the Thai drug-running Elite?

 

Or a re-negotiation of profit share is needed.

You actually believe that Hong Kong will be less corrupt after the Communists seized control?
