From the competition no doubt... or from someone who's got his nose out of joint for some reason,

To be distributed disposed of publicly of course.

The numbers are frightening. Thirty baht a pill seems cheap to me.  180 million is a large number too.

Yes, 30 bht no wonder there's such a problem in Thailand. Police friend of ours said pills can be got for as little as 10 bht which indicates no supply problem at all.
