The three suspects held by Tachatchai checkpoint police on Phuket

Phuket Police Stop Car at Checkpoint, Uncover One Kilo of Drugs

Sunday, November 1, 2015
PHUKET: Police at Tachatchai Checkpoint, the entrance to Phuket, are often scorned but were not fooled today when they stopped two men and a woman in a black Honda Civic.

A search of the vehicle at the checkpoint at 2.50am uncovered drugs hidden in a tissue box and more drugs strapped to the stomach of the woman, travelling in the car with two men.

The total of one kilo of yah ice methamphetamines was bound for sale to a drug dealer in Thalang on Phuket, investigating officers were told.

They should have more of those plastic coppers on duty. They are more effective and hardworking than the human ones.

The check points are not just nuisance value as some claim here is the proof.
