Kritsada Mueanghawong

PHUKET: -- Police arrested two key members of a major drug-dealing ring run by an inmate at Yala prison, after the pair confessed to their roles in moving about 5 million baht worth of ya ba (methamphetamine) from Chiang Rai to Southern Thailand.

“This is one of the largest ya ba drug busts that we have been a part of,” Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Commander Pinit Sirichai said at a press conference yesterday.

The network started to unravel after police arrested small-time drug dealer Thanwa SaeKor, 39. Mr Thanwa’s arrest quickly led to the capture of his supplier Bamrung Deekaew, 31, and associate Sorla Pengwang, 27.

I'm certain the STNR

BOY shirt will help his case.

The cops have serious weapons on show. Obviously not the local BiBs ...

5M THB might sound much for some but I bet that this doesn't even cover a weeks worth of meth turnover on Phuket. It seems the drug problem is too widespread for these busts to make a meaningful impect.

Also if a guy can run his criminal network out of a prison and this is a known fact, they might want to first look into properly shutting off their prisoners from the outside world.

Give him solitary confinement for a while and see what his network does.

Often the guards are on the take.

how up the ladder will they get to go with the investigation before they are told to stop ?

Arrested 2 key members?

is it possible that Chang Rai is the "hub" of something, after reading news about drug busts in Thailand over a number of years more often than not "Chan Rai" is involved, is Chang Rai the yabba "hub" of Thailand

I think so

I reckon those guards wouldn't take any shit

It probably was 5m baht in drugs but after some of it walks this is what is left.

glad they got those two microphones off the street.
