A Royal Thai Navy patrol seized about 200 slabs of compressed marijuana after spotting three or four smugglers with a pushcart loaded with the drug in a graveyard in Nakhon Phanom province on 25 June 2015.[1] The smugglers ran into the jungle when the navy officials approached, abandoning the marijuana.[1]

The patrol commander said the marijuana was worth more than five million baht and may have been smuggled across the Mekong River for sale in other parts of the country.[1]
