Koder Buso, a native of tambon Thung Phor in Sabai Yoi district, arrived at the Saba Yoi Police Station today (Aug 3) to visit his relative. He brought along snacks and a 500cc Lactasoy milk carton for his relative Kariya Tohad who had been detained there for another kratom case. .

When Koder approached a non-commissioned policeman on duty to seek the visit, the policeman carefully checked the food and the carton to prevent any illicit supply, especially narcotics.

The policeman opened the soy milk carton and saw murky tea-like juice inside, not anything like the soy milk of the brand.

When the juice was poured out of the box, it clearly was kratom tea weighing about 500 grams.

Police arrested Mr Koder right away. He was charged with illegal possession of boiled krathom tea.

Koder told police that Kariya’s elder brother had asked him to bring the snacks and milk to Kariya and he had not known that the milk carton contained krathom tea. Police did not believe him.
