The shipment, valued at 8.61 million baht, was intended for illegal export to the United Kingdom and Germany, the department said. The seizure was jointly conducted by the department and the Narcotics Suppression Bureau.
The cannabis was hidden in 65 suspicious packages, intercepted during two inspections. The exporter had no licence to research, export, sell, or process cannabis under the Controlled Herbs Regulation (Cannabis) 2025.
