webfact Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported the arrest of a man called Sarawuth, 30, from Lampang who was caught driving south from Bangkok with 2 million yaba pills in a Toyota Vios. The highway police in Chumphon, southern Thailand, had received a tip about the car and its specific registration and were waiting on both the Petchkasem and Asia 41 highways. On Asia 41 in Lang Suan district the car was spotted and refused to stop. A chase ensued that ended in Lamae district. Sarawuth ran off into the bushes but was soon caught. Back in the car the drugs were in boxes on the back seat and in the trunk. Sarawuth served four years in jail for a drug offence. On release four years ago he bought a car and became a Bangkok cabby. Picture: Thai Rath But he got behind on the instalments and ex-convict friends suggested a drugs run. He said he was being paid 20,000 baht to take the yaba from Wang Noi north of Bangkok to Trang in the south when he was caught. The media published a picture of the suspect behind a huge pile of the drugs. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-01-27 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Celsius Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Maybe the second sentence will be 8 years. I guess Thailand drug laws are not as hard as many here believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro01 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The number of these pills they actually seize is mind-boggling, considering the population of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Most Yaba addicts return to using it. Crazy addictive with little or no way to quit. You wonder why even try it when everyone around who uses it turns into a complete monster loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
