UDON THANI: A man was detained in the northern province of Ban Phue with nearly 200 000 rate medications allegedly coming from Laos.

Thanakorn Prappan, 26, was afterwards detained by police at a nearby soup store. He acknowledged that he owned the acceleration pills for submission and that he lived at the house.

Mr. Thanakorn claimed that he had received the substance from a Chinese woman by the name of Pem, according to Pol Lt Col Boonlert. The girl used Facebook’s messaging program to place orders for speed pills from him to customers in Udon Thani. She gave him 12 000 rate pills per submission.
