A Ghanaian man was detained upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport with 1 kilogram of crystal methamphetamine (ice) worth THB3.5 million in his stomach.
Mr. Kwabena Dwamena swallowed 60 packages containing the drug before boarding a flight from Ghana’s capital Accra to Thailand.
Suspicious behavior from the man alerted the Thai authorities who duly asked Mr Dwamena to undergo a full body X-ray which identified the objects in his stomach.
Police forced the man to defecate and found the 60 packages, MCOT reported.
The drug mule was paid THB45,000 to transport the ice into Thailand.
