Thai military forces based along the Myanmar border in the northern province of Chiang Rai have stepped up border surveillance, especially in Mae Sai district, to prevent the smuggling of a new narcotic, known locally as “Happy”, from Myanmar’s Tachilek township.

 

Thai anti-narcotics officials say that the drug is easily available in almost every entertainment venue in Tachilek at between 3,000 -6,000 baht per packet of up to 20g in white powder form.

 

The drug is less potent than methamphetamine, but it will keep the users awake and feeling good, so they can spend the whole night in a pub or a bar. The drug is available under many brand names and is contained what look like condom packets.

I still think the dealers should be forced to consume their wares within 24 hours when caught 

Haven't found any yet. Smoking scorpion tails and cobra venom used to work for me.
