Drug Police Hunt Man in Jacket Over Suspicious Package to Flight Attendant

Thai anti-drug police are hunting a man in a jacket who delivered a suspicious package to a flight attendant on June 22, clarifying that a rider who came forward is not their target but rather someone seeking to prove his innocence after seeing himself featured in media coverage. Deputy Secretary-General Areepak Ngernbamrung of Thailand's Narcotics Control Board revealed on July 1 that the package delivered by the rider who made contact is different from the one found in the flight attendant's room. The suspicious package, delivered on June 22, was a plain brown box with the crew member's name clearly marked but notably without a sender's name. Police now suspect a car rather than a motorcycle was used, as the package was quite large. The man wore a jacket and carried the brown box to the reception desk around noon on June 22 without passing through the building's barrier system. Investigators are actively pursuing the vehicle driver. Regarding the Facebook account "Rose Rose" that contacted the flight attendant in early June after she posted seeking courier work, police confirm the account has been deleted but are using advanced technology to recover data from the device. They are also investigating whether this account is linked to other pages that have disclosed information about the case and whether it connects to a larger drug network. When asked about alleged secret LINE groups among flight attendants and crew members organizing courier work despite airline prohibitions, officials acknowledged hearing such reports and warned that drug traffickers are employing new tactics to recruit couriers. Regarding the flight attendant's family in Phayao province, police found no evidence of involvement by her parents or family members in normal suspicious activity, though the family is experiencing considerable stress and anxiety, particularly from Australian authorities' restrictions on contact.
