In Southeast Asia, Thailand is a major hub where illegal drug trafficking happens and police commonly carry out raids for hard narcotics like heroin and methamphetamine.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said that they had seized a record 190 tonnes of methamphetamine in East and Southeast Asia last year. The anti-drug laws are tough in Thailand.
People can be jailed for up to 10 years in Thailand if caught with drugs like Ecstasy and methamphetamine in possession.
