NAKHON SI THAMMARAT ( Thakhon Si Thammarat )- On Thursday, a Thai man and a Myanmar national were detained along with 600, 000 speed pills taken in the Thung Song district. The medications, sent from northeastern Thailand, were destined for traders in this southern city.

A mixed team of local officials, border guard police and officers from the Thung Song police stop arrested the two men — Weerachai Latae, 28, of Thepha region in Songkhla, and Sai Aik Lam, 21, of Myanmar — at a home in tambon Nong Hong, where the pills were seized, said Somkhid Kansuwan, commander of Thung Song area. &nbsp,

According to knowledge, large quantities of medications were being smuggled from the north in anticipation of sales to consumers in the southeastern province via a logistics business.

The company was then asked by the police to look over parcels sent from the northeast, and 12 of them turned out to be cautious. The logistics agency employees were then instructed to deliver the packages to the home whose handle was marked.

Officers were waiting to assault the two suspects when they emerged from the house to pick up the boxes.

Mr. Weerachai and his companion reportedly claimed during questioning that a drug dealer had sent the packages from Chiang Mai.

At the Thung Song police place, the two suspects were taken to court by law enforcement.
