27 Year-Old Ivory Coast Woman Arrested at Phuket Airport with Over a Kilo of Cocaine in Her Stomach
PHUKET -A 27-year-old woman from the Ivory Coast has been arrested on the Thai island of Phuket after an airport X-ray found more than one kilogram of cocaine in her stomach wrapped in scores of small packets.

The woman was stopped by officials late Wednesday night at Phuket’s international airport after landing on a flight from Doha.

An X-ray revealed more than 60 small packages in her stomach, filled with 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) of cocaine, according to Sirinya Sitdhichai, secretary-general of Thailand’s Office of Narcotics Control Board. The drugs were likely bound for wealthy clients in Bangkok, he added... Smugglers often fly into smaller airports outside Bangkok and then travel by road to sell the drugs in the capital.
