Thai police display packages of confiscated crystal methamphetamine for the press, announcing that they have seized more than a tonne of the drug in less than a week. Thailand has seen a surge in smuggling after the country’s borders reopened. “Some of these drugs were kept for a period of time before being transported to the southernmost provinces, and they were supposed to be shipped to other countries later,” says Police General Chinnapat Sarasin, Deputy National Police Chief.
