    Thai police find 3.8 million methamphetamine pills

    BANGKOK (AP) — Police have seized 3.8 million methamphetamine tablets in Thailand's largest drug bust in years.

    The haul was estimated as worth more than one billion baht ($31.7 million).

    Police Maj. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank said the pills and 71 kilograms (156 pounds) of crystal meth were found hidden in an empty house in Bangkok's northern outskirts.

    Police raided the house Saturday after tracking down a driver who abandoned his vehicle after a car chase.

    Thailand is a leading market and transit point for methamphetamine, much of which is produced in neighboring Myanmar.

        Not funny, though. It's not just rotten teeth. You should see the picture of a beautiful woman that DEA has used to illustrate the way in which the body is ravaged by the #$%$ poison: It's sobering, to say the least. This once beautiful woman, after 5 years of using this crap, looks like a street bum waste of the most pathetic kind.

        You got that right. Check out "before and after" pics of people who have been using meth for as little as 3 months. They look like they are in complete terror and have lost any semblance of normal life. Meth is from the devil.

    • Blue Dart Master  •  Greenville, South Carolina  •  4 mths ago
      It took three cops working nonstop night and day for a week to count the pills. There were originally 4 million pills.

        And you know that for a fact. Kindly share your source with DEA -they would be interested.
      • A Yahoo! User 4 mths ago
        LOL, I think he's joking. He's saying they needed the pills to stay up day and night for a week to do the counting.

      I make my own meth. Who pays a Thai to ship them in when you can make it in your back yard? Drugs aren't the problem here- it's the downfall of American ingenuity and resourcefulness! Quit outsourcing our dug-dealers! There are plenty of people in the US who need that income!

      In Thailand, meth is often referred to as "yaba", when translated means "crazy drug". Years ago, some Thai office managers distributed yaba to workers to get them to work longer hours. Under the deposed PM Thaksin Shinawatra about 9 years ago, (the older brother of the current PM, Yingluck Shinawatra), a massive drug bust campaign was waged in which about 2,500 street-level dealers were rounded up, and many of them summarily executed by the Thai police. There are documented cases (about a dozen or so) of innocent people getting caught in this net and they too were executed. So, Thailand has a "colorful" history in dealing with its' drug problems. Don't even think about trying to use or bring in drugs to Thailand. Thai prisons make US prisons look like country clubs.

      I wonder who had to count all of those pills
    • Johnny Pro  •  4 mths ago
      The Thai justice system doesn't mess around with drug dealers and will put all involved to death.
      That's why this is the biggest dug bust in years. Whoever was stupid enough to risk their life just lost.

      the war against drugs is going about as well as Prohibition went against alchohol. Drunk drivers kill a thousand times more people every year than all the drug addicts combined do, but hey we love our liquor. Nevermind the 460,000 per year that die of lung cancer, light em up folks, die happy. And yes, our government still pays tobacco farmers, aint it a hoot?
