4.2 million, Meth !

One Officer killed .

Sure the Police Official got a Tip off before hand.

Should have done enough preparation to capture " large" consignment.

I am Confident the Culprits would be Caught by police, However Life lost can be avoided.

The whole of SEA is heading for a similar situation than Mexico. In my location Cambodia Police arrest Drug Traffickers, mostly Chinese and Khmer at a daily rate. The amount the confiscate is getting larger by the week. A Taiwanese had set up a full Factory for Drug Production in Kompong Speu near Phnom Penh. The work of the Cambodian Police is really good but i think they only catch the tip of an Iceberg. Vietnam, too gets loads trafficked from Myanmar, Thailand through Cambodia. If the Viet's capture one with more than just a few gram he is heading for the gallows. My experience in Thailand is decades old but the Drugs sold on Ko Phangan were organized by an israeli network which apparently worked under the plain sight of the local police. That may have changed . I haven't been there for a long time.
