Arrested transporting it was a family man called Sophon Kleua-yu who was a seafood trader.

 

He had lost his work because of the pandemic and wanted to help his family so he accepted a friend's advice and an offer of 50,000 baht to move the drugs.

This guy wasn't a mule, he's an angel from heaven. His shipment could have brought some relief to so many people idled and worried by the poor foresight of the Khaki Klowns.
