More than 800,000 speed pills were found buried near a hut in a border village in Mae Sot district of Tak province, police said on Saturday.
A team of soldiers was dispatched to Wat Takhian village in tambon Tha Sailuad late Friday night following a tip-off that a gang had smuggled illicit drugs from Myanmar into Mae Sot by crossing the Moei River.
The officers found a suspicious hut behind the village and searched it. The search turned up the methamphetamine pills in packs buried behind the hut. Methamphetamine pills sell for 300 baht apiece or more on the street, making the haul worth 240 million baht.
Nobody was in the hut, said police, who are following up on the case after being alerted by the military.
