KOH SAMUI: -- A man was arrested with 100 kilograms of Krathom on Koh Samui on Sunday.

“At about 9am we were manning the checkpoint at the Seatran Ferry pier as usual,” said Samui police chief Paitoon Krajajang, “when we found a modified pick-up truck that had an oversized spare trye and was riding low to the ground. It was suspicious, so we stopped the truck for inspection.” 

Col Paitoon said that the driver, named as Chayaporn Tayeng, 29, also looked suspicious to police officers during their vehicle inspection. 

“We found three plastic boxes in the back of the truck. When we opened them, we found they were full of about 100kg of Kratom leaves,” Col Paitoon said.

The USA made it illegal effective 9/30/2016 and then reversed their decision about one week ago after the FDA and DEA got blasted by scientists and those who had been using for years for pain relief.

 

But not legal in all states (Indiana among them).
