What a joke! Bai Kratom! It's embarassing to brag of it as a big bust. Go and do something constructive, especially on Samui, or has the leaders program to erdaicate all "mafia" activity in the country been a success and now this is all thats left to do??

Thais have been eating krathom leaves for many generations to ease certain conditions. Was this bust made at the request of Big Pharma?

The market women do not look, as if they have become rich through drug trafficking.
Kkrathom leaves be chewed by the working population for hundreds of years.
It helps to overcome famine in the hard work on the fields and on the construction sites.
The wake up drinks like Krating Daeng, M150 and Red Bull are much more dangerous for the health.
Behind these drinks is a strong industry lobby.
In contrast to Kkrathom leaves, the power source of the poor workers, which is a 100% natural product and without a lobby.
