Well done, to burn it in special incinerator and not like in the past burn it in front of Thai officers, just out in the open.

The other 148 Tonnes had already been distributed around certain offices for re-cycling......

Probably got all this from the west African drug deals who frequent the Nana plaza  area of Sukhumvit in Bangkok
