KRABI: -- Phang Nga Highway Police arrested four people, including one minor, at a Krabi checkpoint yesterday for the possession of 130 kilograms of kratom.

Kitti Kongderm, 33; Chalee Kongderm, 30; Nuchanat Chorfai, 27 and a 17-year-old minor referred to by police only as 'Daeng', were driving two separate cars, carrying a total of 13 bags of fresh kratom leaves.

“During a random check, we stopped a vehicle belonging to Mr Chalee. While we were checking the car, Mr Chalee called someone to tell them that he was stuck at a checkpoint,” said Maj Thammasak Pholdet of the Phang Nga Highway Police, who police Phang Nga, Krabi and Phuket. “We then saw another car about 500 meters from the checkpoint immediately stop and turn into a small soi in a palm plantation.”

What, no pointing. How do we know which are the criminals?

Just never gets old, does it?

Of course it does, it has been used by many others so often there ought to be a rule regarding plagiarism on it's use. It gets so boring when one cannot come up with something original. Not even funny anymore.

Yeah, it's pointless really.

But what is the effect of these leaves ? why are they so famous ? is there something similar that exist in the west ?

Thailand should allow this weed on all holidays. The fine should be twenty baht if used on a non holiday.

The Wikipedia entry for Kratum is quite interesting, as is the reason it was made illegal in 1943.
