24 foreign smugglers may well be accurate.. as is 90% being nationals.

In the context of this article, one doesn't increase measurements, one increases measures.

That may be so but as most of us know Phuket does attract many wealthy foreign criminal folk who tend to hide there from their own authorities and I guess some of those are drug dealers

All the drugs are now safely in the hands of the dealers ????
