It is believed that the suspects were preparing to board a Thai Airways flight bound for Germany, where the narcotics were allegedly intended to be delivered.

The seizure comes amid a string of recent drug trafficking incidents at Wattay International Airport, raising concerns over the increasing use of the transit hub for illicit activities.
