The arrest was made by Army troops from the Pha Muang Taskforce with cooperation from Chiang Rai&#39;s Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB). 
Lt Phisit Apidet, commander of the Third Cavalry Company of Pha Muang Taskforce, said the three were arrested at 8.30pm at a checkpoint on a road near the 2nd Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge in San Phak Hee village in Tambon Mae Sai in Chiang Rai&#39;s Mae Sai district. 
ONCB officials found the drugs after they received a tip-off that a pickup truck would be used to smuggle drugs from Myanmar into Thailand.
