A tiger shows contrition only when caught..
Says he was in transit to Thailand. Was he luckier getting caught in Cambodia than Thailand?

From what I have heard from first hand subjects, yes, Cambodian jails are easier than Thailand. He's got that contrition look, maybe he has an uncle too.

It was obvious something was up when he didn't just wear the standard issue plain black t-shirt/trousers. It was the tiger wot done him!

Who would try to smuggle 1KG of ketamine from here to Thailand? Is it so much more valuable there than here?
Airports have all the equipment needed to find this stuff easily, it makes no sense. I am fairly sure they screen all checked in baggage, not just arriving luggage, so you are just asking to get caught.

I think 'mule' is the correct term?

It must be. I remember friends smuggling Ketamine from here to Thailand over 20 years ago when it was easy to get here in pharmacies. Nowadays it's mostly illicitly produced stuff from Myananmar/ China/ maybe here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I suppose it was an express delivery hence the airplane as chosen method of transport. Or maybe the mule paid off the wrong people for a safe passage through customs.
work is for people who cant find truffles
