About 50,000 methamphetamine pills have been seized by rangers of the Pha Muang task force along the Thailand-Myanmar border in Chiang Rai province.

The drugs were seized at 6am yesterday (Monday) when patrolling rangers heard a dog barking at someone in an isolated banana plantation in Muang Daeng Tai village, Tambon Mae Sai, in Mae Sai district.

They saw someone speed off on a motorcycle. When they rushed to investigate the area, they found a sack hidden among banana plants. The bag held 50,000 meth pills, which have been now forwarded to Mae Sai police for further investigation and legal action.
