PHUKET: -- Phuket Provincial Police arrested 13 suspects as they picked up packages containing 41 kilograms of kratom from a bus company office on Tuesday morning.

Officers waited at the office of Srisuchart Transport (1989) Co Ltd on bypass road after receiving a tip-off from one of their sources that packages of kratom would be transported from Bangkok on one of the company's buses.

“When the bus arrived at 9am, we saw a group of people come to pick up the packages,” said Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Commander Pinit Sirichai. “When we asked to inspect the packages, we found that they were full of kratom.”

Why do all the kratom busts occur in Phuket? I guess a lot of kratom is planted in Phuket by the BIB.

"Why do all the kratom busts occur in Phuket?" - because the sale of kratom impedes on their sale of manufactured drugs, which are more luctrative for them.

I know I shouldn't, but did they arrest the dealer who sent the packages?

Silly question... of course NOT.

Thinking things through, and actually planning is NOT a Thai trait.

Not much of a drug bust, who is being destroyed by chewing this weed?

Want a waste of time an effort. Try busting the kingpins of the freaking yaba trade. What a joke.

I can not recall one reported "bust" on a Meth lab on Phuket. Can anyone else?

Better to bust the the manufacturers / growers of the easily supplied kratom leaves, in order to push people onto yaba, which is controlled by, you know who.
