how does the police know how many pills are in a 500,000, 1,000,000 ya-ba drug bust??? COUNT THEM, GUESS, MAKE UP A NUMBER THAT SOUNDS GOOD???

get 1 pill, weigh it, and then weigh the rest ??

weigh them one suspects will get you close enough....but knowing the BiB they most likely just make it up

I would imagine they use a pill / capsule counting machine.

I thought they would come in packs of 1000 or something like that, so not actually that difficult to count.

I'm sure distributors know what's gone out

You gotta think business wise. Would you count it if you were about to resell it?

pill counters. i am sure the drugs bureau of the thai police will have them by the dozen. they are only 30,000baht or so.

People get paid to do the most menial manual tasks in Thailand. I wouldn't be surprised if they are hand counted.

I thought Thais did not have the ability to count without the use of a calculator??
