Immigration police raided a rented house in Bang Khen district, Bangkok, on 19 October 2026 and found five tonnes of cannabis buds. They arrested a Vietnamese man and four Myanmar workers who were paid 200–300 baht a day to sort and pack the flower. The group held a processing licence in Nong Bua Lam Phu, but the Bangkok premises were unlicensed; the offence carries up to a year in prison and/or a 20,000-baht fine.[1]
