Police at Mae Phrik search the white pickup truck with Chiang Rai licence plates on Monday after the driver's reaction to being stopped aroused their suspicions. Pol Maj Gen Panudet Boonruang, deputy chief of Provincial Police Region 5, said the Mae Phrik checkpoint was equipped with an x-ray machine to scan for drugs. Lampang governor Suwat Promsuwan and senior police and military officers were also present at the briefing, at the Mae Phrik checkpoint.
