webfact Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Picture: Thai Rath Border police in Nakhon Phanom in Thailand's north eastern region announced the arrest of a 31 year old female Som Tam (papaya salad) seller with 4.6 million Ya Ba (meth amphetamine mixed with caffeine). The drugs had been imported across the Mekong River by a gang that paid her 400,000 baht for onward transport. She said that she needed money for her children after she lost her work during the pandemic and her husband was jailed. Laddawan Chaiyawong said she'd done it before and it went well so she decide to try again. Thai Rath said she was a pretty and presentable woman from Kutchim sub-district of Nakhon Phanom. Taken into evidence was an Isuzu pick-up and 4,622,000 pils. Her husband was in jail for 8 years on a drugs case. She was a Ya ba addict. She has two sons aged 3 and 14. Last month she got 200,000 baht for transporting a consignment so she decided to go again. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-04 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooBigToFit Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Sad days for the kids. Who's taking all this yaba in Thailand and for what? Do rural farmers need it to work? Is it used for weight loss by women? Are truckers using it? Sure is a hell of a lot of pills in this haul and still there are so many others caught each day.
