A buyer paid 586,000 baht ($19,000; £14,500) for the Honda CR-V car, which was put up for auction this month after being seized in a drugs case last year. But when it was sent to a garage for alterations, a mechanic discovered 94,000 pills stashed in its bumper. Officials said they would conduct more thorough searches in future.

Monomial Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Foolish. I would have kept the tablets and turned them into very useful pseudoephedrine. Only in Thailand can you buy dangerous antibiotics and other drugs over the counter, but you have to go to a hospital just to get a functional decongestant readily available everywhere else in the world...
