Bangkok Post reports that the 38-year-old Nigerian was arrested by police and army rangers when they discovered that he had an unstamped passport, further checks revealed that he had stomach lining protector pills, raising suspicion that he might have ingested some illegal drugs.
He was later taken to Aranyaprathet Hospital for an x-ray, which revealed over 20 packages of suspicious objects.
Consequently, he was directed to a toilet to excrete objects and the officers found 26 packages of heroin weighing 367 grammes and having an estimated street value of $47,000.
