Officials became suspicious that oil drums were being brought into Thailand from Laos and had all of them examined usingan X-ray machine, which revealed something unusual in some of the drums. Upon opening, the drums were found to contain 10kgs of crystal meth and Ecstasy and 3.8 million methamphetamine tablets, with an estimated street value of 100 million baht.

RichardColeman Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Seems to be an awful lot more drugs coming over now - maybe they should either re-instate the death penalty for anything over 5kg or a life time sentence for anything over 5kg. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I was stood on the Thai side of the Mekong near Nong Khai. Small boats were crossing the river in a pretty random kind of way. God knows what some were carrying, but no way of checking their cargo was in evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that the same amounts as before are being smuggled in but now that weed is off the table they can concentrate on the real drug problem hence more chemical busts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I'm sure will be publicly destroyed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
