Thailand’s Customs Department, acting through its Investigation and Suppression Division, deployed a Customs K-9 detector-dog team to enter and examine parcels stored in the warehouse of a private company.[1] During that warehouse inspection, officers identified one suspicious parcel whose stated destination was Brazil, recording the examination date as 30 October 2026.[1]

Upon inspection, officers found a Category 5 narcotic described as cannabis extract, called yang kancha in Thai, in the form of a dark-brown solid that had been deliberately hidden inside a book.[1] Customs reported the total weight including wrapping material at approximately 523 grams, equivalent to 0.523 kilograms, and assessed the value of the seized extract at 784,500 baht.[1]

The department said the seizure established an attempt to export Category 5 cannabis extract out of the Kingdom without the required permission.[1] It classified that attempted unlicensed export as an offence under the country’s Narcotics Code in conjunction with the Customs Act.[1]
