PAI: -- A 31-year-old man – allegedly part of a Hmong drug trafficking ring that used to trade with the Laota Saenli network – was arrested with 170,000 ‘yaba’ pills and three kilograms of crystal meth or “ice” in Pai district in Mae Hong Son on Wednesday, acting chief of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau Pol Maj General Sommai Kongwisaisuk has said.

 

Pichit Chokpakchitporn, Mae Hong Son native, was nabbed with drugs worth an estimated Bt40 million at a checkpoint on the Wiang Haeng to Pai Road after a tip-off that the Hmong network would transport drugs from a neighbouring country in a car into Thailand. Police and soldiers from the 17th Infantry Regiment staked out the area until they spotted the vehicle fitting the description they were given. 

Sommai said Pichit belonged to the Hmong network that used to distribute drugs through Laota’s group.

He looks 50-ish. The toil drugs take on a body...

Looks like he's had a bit of a hard life for a 31 year old 

If that guy's 31, he had an uphill paper round.

" A 31-year-old man – allegedly part of a Hmong drug trafficking ring that used to trade with the Laota Saenli network – was arrested with 170,000 ‘yaba’ pills and three kilograms of crystal meth or “ice” ..."

 

From the way he appears, he could plea that it was his personal stash and probably get away with it.

No doubt the remarks regarding the character's age in the picture are jokingly made.

He is in fact Lao Tao Saen Li a major drug dealer , as it noted under the photo..

It's a photo ploy technique. TVN do this from time to time to check to make sure your are paying attention to the names of the individuals in their stories.
