Summary
A clash between Thai rangers and suspected narcotics traffickers in the Mae Ai district of Chiang Mai resulted in the death of one individual and the confiscation of more than 100 kilograms of opium. The engagement occurred along the border with Myanmar and continued throughout the night, leading to the discovery of 102.4 kilograms of raw opium stored in five altered backpacks and one sack. Authorities estimated the street value of the drugs at approximately 2 million baht near the border, noting that the price would increase significantly if the substance were processed into heroin.
