noahvail Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai presided at the ceremony delivering the confiscated drugs from the ministry compound to Bangpa-in industrial estate in Ayutthaya for burning. The illegal drugs seized in relation to 4,426 criminal cases include 30.72 million amphetamine pills and 228 kilogrammes of heroin whose street values are estimated at some 9.4 Billion Baht.

jackdanielsesq Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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.

kamalabob2 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Shah Jahan Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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...
