I find it rather scary that there was almost as much yaba as there was marijuana confiscated. Sounds like a worse epidemic than swine flu!

Does that include the SA haul?!

That is one large heroine, Wagnerian in proportion, unless there are several heroines that total 228.33kg.

BTW that is a reasonable collection of narctics.

Better not stand down-wind of that lot when it goes up

So who's making it to the bon fire? Should we send out invites to the red shirts to make sure they bring the hot dogs and luk chin moo?

2,980 kilograms of marijuana, 2,737.75 kilograms of Yaba ??????????????

Better not stand down-wind of that lot when it goes up

Good remark, would you be looked upon as a user, when slowly getting high for free at the Thai governments furnace?

I wonder how many pounds the thai will be able to pinch before they burn the drugs ?

Yup - they already did, methinks. Talcum powder is odorless when it burns.

It's not over until the fat lady sings!

A lot of old hippies in California would give body parts to be present - downwind, of course.

I imagine there will be a lot of warm, stoned polar bears also, were we to believe a tenth of big Al's BS.

Perhaps a fitting tribute to Jacko too, as we round up the festivities.

Where exactly is this place?!

Maybe Jackdanielsesq had seen the color photo on page B3 of The Bangkok Post Newspaper June 26th edition. It sure looks like the top box on the hand truck has been opened and a FDA worker is moving the illegal drugs.

Better not stand down-wind of that lot when it goes up

The air would be so 'pure' you could bottle it and sell it

The local drug burn they had in Surat Thani sure didn't use any sort of

looks more like good old kerosene or diesel fuel was used...

Also, the haphazard manner in which the stuff was just thrown together and piled around looks more suited for a weiner roast or outdoor picnic...

Today is the UN’s International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. In Surat Thani, thousands of people and government officials marked the occasion yesterday by burning illicit drugs in front of the provincial city hall.

OMG I can't believe they burned it like that, that's just insane... a lot will go AWOL for sure

No respectable Thai Police General or High level Government official would let that much $$$ go up in smoke,

Bet ya they left lots of the ganja in for the show and smell and switched out all the expensive stuff. makes me wonder why people in this country even bother...
