Bust in Nong Khai Nets Two Drug Traffickers
Hey there! Let's talk about a wild ride that went down in the wee hours of Monday, April 21, 2025, in Nong Khai, Thailand. Two dudes, Yommana Bannarak, 37, and Pinyowit Watthan, 26, found themselves in a sticky situation with the border patrol police.
It all went down in the Muang district, where our duo was cruising around in a snazzy white Nissan Almera. Little did they know, it was loaded with 632,360 methamphetamine pills stashed away in three sacks.
The authorities had a hunch about this car, as it was suspected to be transporting a hefty amount of drugs from Nong Khai to Udon Thani. So, they kept their eyes peeled.around 11:30 pm, they caught a glimpse of the Nissan Almera at an intersection in Nai Muang subdistrict.
Seems our boys on the run didn't take kindly to the police signal to pull over. Instead of stopping, they hit the gas, crashing into a police vehicle in the process. But alas, their escape was short-lived. They tried to flee on foot, but the police were hot on their heels and nabbed them near the crime scene.
The goods were seized, and Yommana and Pinyowit were taken into custody without any further hiccups. Quite a wild ride for a Monday night, huh? Be cool, my friend—drugs aren't the answer to your problems!
