Police had been following the gang's activities and became aware of the movement of drugs between Lomsak and Saraburi, reported INN.

 

A pick-up was leading the pair on lookout and the van with the drugs was coming up behind.

 

The men had dropped into a resort for the night. They admitted everything.

Should be totally banned from smoking until Thais can learn to live with alcohol and cut road deaths by 80%

There's a ton of trouble there for sure.

Don't you get tired of writing exactly the same things? I don't like people smoking around me either; but you are overreacting in a ridiculous manner.

Thais learn to live with alcohol? What a pompous statement!
