PHUKET: -- A couple from Nakorn Sri Thammarat were arrested in Kamala on Tuesday (Dec 8) when they were caught in possession of 142.6 kilos of fresh kratom leaves worth more than B100,000.

The arrest of the couple was announced at a press conference held at Phuket City Police Station yesterday (Dec 9).

Kamala Police Chief Pol Col ML Pattanajak Jakkapan and Phuket City Police Deputy Superintendent Pol Col Pinit Sirisak held the press conference to announce the arrest of Janjam Kosai, 36, and Ms Uraiwan Siriwong, 28, who had 142.6 kilos of kratom leaves stashed at their rented room in Kamala.

Col ML Pattanajak explained that the two were arrested during an anti-drug and -crime campaign held between December 4-10.

Police received a tip-off from locals that the couple were working as local market vendors, but were known to smuggle kratom onto the island in their Toyota pick-up truck.

They rented a room in Baan Hao Kwan in Kamala and used it to store the kratom before dividing it into small bundle to sell to locals.

“We appointed undercover officers to monitor the couple. They followed them to their rented room and told Janjam they wanted to search his truck. In doing so they found a bundle of kratom hidden behind the driver seat,” Col ML Pattanajak said.

There were some reports about legalizing. But obviously they didn't.

I read that they are legal in some other countries.
