Pol. Lt. Gen. Siam Boonsom, commander of the Central Investigation Bureau, alongside deputies Pol. Maj. Gen. Thira Decha Thammasut and Pol. Maj. Gen. Prasong Anomanee, disclosed the arrest of a 32-year-old man identified only as Thotsapol. Officers seized 6,472,000 meth pills, one 10-wheel truck, and a mobile phone, with total assets exceeding 200 million baht. The bust occurred at 05:50 on October 26 in Bor Phat Phi Sai district, Nakhon Sawan, after surveillance teams tracked the truck from the North. The suspect confessed he was paid 200,000 baht to transport the shipment from Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai — originating in a neighboring country — to a stash house in Nonthaburi for onward distribution across the Bangkok metropolitan area. The gang routinely hides drugs inside produce such as ginger, galangal, cabbage, and corn, changing tactics each run. Thotsapol has prior drug convictions and was released only last November. He faces charges of illicit Category 1 drug (methamphetamine) trafficking.
