Woman in Thailand receives unusually heavy parcel containing meth
The bizarre incident took place in Chumphon Province’s Pathio district, where a villager named only as Ms A made a bulk order of 10 packets of wet wipes for 169 baht (S$6.65) via a shopping app.
That afternoon, a private courier arrived with a single, unusually heavy parcel consisting of two smaller boxes taped together to form a single package.
Curious and alarmed by its weight, she opened the box after the courier left and was puzzled to find two speaker boxes instead of wet wipes.
At first, she thought she’d fallen victim to an online scam. But upon closer inspection, the speaker panels appeared suspiciously artificial.
She then called her partner to take a look, and together they discovered what appeared to be illegal substances.
Realising the seriousness of the situation, she immediately informed her village head.

The local police were also alerted and quickly arrived at her residence.
They found Ms A and the village head, Mr Pradermchai (name transliterated from Thai), waiting outside her house with the suspicious parcel.
Prising the boxes open, officers discovered two black-and-red speaker units branded “BIG SOUND”, reported Thairath.
The rear panels raised immediate suspicion — their odd-looking wiring and unusual weight prompted further inspection.
Using a screwdriver, officers removed the panels and uncovered foil-wrapped bundles hidden inside.

Inside the first speaker were 40,000 methamphetamine pills sealed in blue plastic bags.
In the second, 2kg of crystal meth — also known as ‘Ice’ — was stashed in vacuum-sealed packets disguised as Chinese tea.
Police question courier & branch manager
Police later brought the meth and ‘Ice’ back to the police station.
They also summoned the courier, 32-year-old Mr Witthawat (name transliterated from Thai), and the branch manager, 43-year-old Mr Phladisai (name transliterated from Thai), for questioning.

The two men claimed that the parcel originated from Bangkok and was routed through a distribution centre in Surat Thani before being dispatched to the final recipient in Chumphon.
They insisted they had no idea what was inside, saying they were simply fulfilling their duties to deliver it.
Investigators have since requested a full recipient log from the courier company to trace potential suspects and uncover links to drug-related networks, in order to nab those behind the smuggling attempt.
