CHIANG MAI – Soldiers with the Pha Muang Task Force have seized 13 backpacks filled with about 1.5 million methamphetamine pills from a large drug-smuggling group moving through the Fang border area in Chiang Mai Province. Around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, intelligence officers from the Pha Muang Task Force received information that a drug convoy planned to slip a major shipment across the Thai-Myanmar border near Mon Pin Subdistrict, Fang District, Chiang Mai. Units from the 4th Cavalry Company, Chaiyanuphap Task Force, and the 3207th Ranger Company were sent out to patrol and block key routes. There, they spotted a group of about 15 to 17 men walking along the trail while carrying packs. After securing the scene, soldiers found two bodies about 2 kilometers from the clash site, in rugged terrain.
