Well, at least this is egg on the face of all those detractors of the Thai Narcotics Division (correct name for them? kinda like the DEA in the States) after the press release that foreign trafficers of drugs were being targeted. Bravo for the police going after locals, and at least making an effort to get that crap off the streets.

[poshthai]

well done,give the b.i.b credit for this massive operation and hope that this will reduce the amount of tabs on the streets and less crime also.
