Naew Na reported that a Hong Kong man and a Thai woman had been arrested in connection with smuggling 200 million baht's worth of heroin abroad in instant noodles.

 

Dozens of drug suppression operatives armed with a search warrant went to a house in Soi Porn Prapha Nimitr in Nong Prue, Pattaya.

 

Investigators gathered evidence including packaging sealing equipment and documents while forensics dusted for fingerprints at the two story townhouse.

 

Two motorcycles and a pick-up were also seized as the couple were taken away for questioning.

 

Police remained tight lipped for a change about the progress of the investigation but it related to a customs' seizure of 60 kilos of heroin worth 200 million baht in a shipping container bound for abroad in July.

 

The drugs were in the sachets inside bamee instant noodles.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when those guys get arrested, that'll be a million dollar expression of despair and defeat to watch kissing the rest or their lives as the knew it away...

Party time for the BIB.

Anybody know that street name.... looks like a misspell of the Thai name for Soi Siam CC Rd?

The alternative flavour is cocaine. Users can be recognised by the noodles hanging from their nostrils....

Mama… mia!

That explains why I ended up on the nod, and woke up 3 hours later covered in vomit after my last bowl of soba.

Yeah it is, but it goes all the way from the Suchamvit road to the golf course, named after the guy that paid for it to be upgraded to tarmac from red dirt, believe he also owned the golf course if my information is correct, of course it may not be correct, just telling you what I was told. ????

Amazing; a Thai keeping quiet near a microphone and reporters!  Something dirty going on here.

That's quite a bit of #4

The police should give this 60 kg away to all these whacked out locos on bad speed around here. Better off being around population on opiates than amphetamines.

60 kilo's is enough to put you away for a good while anywhere. In SE Asia he will be lucky to live
