Thai Rath reported that a taxi driver said he had no idea what his passenger was carrying in his cab and even helped her load up two boxes.

 

They turned out to contain 30 kilos of the Class 1 drug crystal meth.

 

Police have charged him and the passenger with possession with intent to deal and the passenger with taking the drug too.

 

The cabby will have to explain his side in court, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

Police in Nakhon Pathom displayed the drugs that were in clear plastic inside gold packages sealed up with duct tape in two cardboard boxes. 

 

The taxi and phones were taken into evidence.

 

Arrested were Janphen Puangsuk,  39, from Korat who has four previous meth related offences in Klong Luang and cabby Samrit Malisorn, 37, from Bangkok who had a clean record.

 

Region 7 commander Pol Lt-Gen Thanayut Wuthijarasthamrong told how the drugs were found during a routine 3 am checkpoint at a U-Turn outside a Hyundai showroom in Nakhon Pathom.

 

The female suspect said that she had been hired by a woman she knew only as "Pat" to go to Ratchaburi and meet a man called "Kai" in a white pick-up. She was paid 5,000 baht up front and would reveive the rest - 25,000 baht - when the delivery was completed. 

 

She went in another cab to Ratchaburi to get the drugs. Then Janphen and Kai drove back towards Bangkok and stopped another cab on the way and together all loaded up the packages - one on the rear seat and one in the trunk.

 

Then came the checkpoint as the taxi driver and his passenger headed back to make the delivery in Nawanakhon, Pathum Thani.

Maybe the Police should do a better investigation , to see if the cab

driver had any connection with the suspect , could be just an innocent

cab driver, hope he has a good lawyer ,as it could be guilt by association.

It will never be controlled.

Until the government control it.

People are using this drug everywhere, that's why she had 30 freaking kilos of it in one delivery!

So where are all the toothless addicted?

The Whermacht defeated Europe and almost took Russia on ya ice, so where were all the addicted troops?

It's used to this day by special ops in certain approved and medically supervised situations. 

Time to wake up and smell the vapour. 

Legalise, tax, control -and win/end the failed drug war.

Simple.
