The Thais actually paid police to set up that neat pill display with the colors all arranged and spaced out neatly. This is a really big bust.

Just the usual tired old stock Thai bashing from a very ignorant hater.

Was wondering about the cough medicines. The pills might contain codeine, which is a very effective cough medicine. It used to be available over the counter in the Netherlands, but later not anymore, it is an opium derivative and taking a large quantity makes you intoxicated.
