More than 40 tonnes of narcotics were burned on Friday in Samut Prakan, in what was the largest amount of drugs to be burned at once in the kingdom s history.
Paisarn Dunkum, secretary-general of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said the agency, national police, the Office of the Attorney-General, the army and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board burned 40.6 tonnes of drugs seized in 68 cases, including 27,777 kilogrammes of meth pills, 12,199kg of crystal meth, 170kg of heroin, 12kg of ecstasy, 53kg of opium and 384kg of ketamine.
The drugs had a street value of 43.4 billion baht. They were incinerated at a facility on the Bang Poo Industrial Estate in Samut Prakan at 1,200C, a temperature that rapidly turns the drug into carbon dioxide and does not pollute the surrounding environment.
