The Chiang Mai men were on a motorbike on Phoonpon Road at 7:30pm when police ordered them to stop. While fleeing the checkpoint, one of the men, identified as Wuttichai Rattanaputiwong, 31, allegedly fired a shot from a .38 revolver into the air.

Police pursued the men to a rented house in Suanluang Chaofa village. A police unit, dressed in tactical gear, then stormed the house.

A long stay in a Thai prison will do good for his weight problem.

Despite having ample opportunity to dump the heroin, he chose to cleverly hide it in his underwear.

Another rocket scientist!

Idiot...No, Fat Idiot!

Time he gets out he will be a very slimmed down boy.

another brazen act by the offenders.

wonder whether the gun was licensed.

the police personnel are at grave risk facing

criminals like these.

fortunately no on was injured but things could have gone wrong.

some countries consider it very serious even to point a gun at someone.

A long stay in a Thai prison will do good for his weight problem.

Not really .... if he has the money he can have friends bring in whatever food he desires.

..........allegedly fired a shot from a .38 revolver into the air.
