A press conference at Region 4 drugs' suppression police in southern Thailand announced the arrest of four Thai women, all close friends from Ratchaburi.

 

They had transported 200 kilos of compressed marijuana worth 10 million baht from Saraburi to Hat Yai before they were arrested on the Punnakan-Thung Done Road in the Songkhla provincial city.

 

They were named as Sawitri, 30, Wiphawan, 33, and 37 year olds Nuan-Anong and Nitaya.

 

They said they had been paid 160,000 by an agent to transport the drugs and it was their first time.

 

They had used an Isuzu pick-up with a Honda Jazz leading the way as lookout. 

 

The drugs were headed for "a neighboring country" said Daily News.

 

That would likely be Malaysia, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

All four have been charged with possessing with intent to sell a Class 5 drug.

This is probably part of Phiphat's domestic tourism kickstarting effort.

Well at least they will have friends to talk with in prison.

Rhetorical question right.????

Detective:  You are being arrested for 600 kilos.
Captain:  Good work detective!  450 kilos will clean up the streets!
Reporter headline:  200 Kilos confiscated in drug bust

200kg?  No idea about Thai prices but in the UK that's approaching £1 million - wholesale! Quite a long sentence in the UK for that amount but in Thailand what will they get - 50 years?

Did they hide it up their fanny? 200kg between the four of them should be easy, I've seen all sorts of demonstration in Patpong back in the days

Too late to claim it's for personal use.
