The man said he had been hired by another Laotian to take the bag from the car park of Ban Paeng Hospital in Nakhon Phanom for delivery to a person in Udon Thani, but he had alighted from the Nakhon Phanom-Udon Thani van by mistake when it arrived at Nong Khai Bus Terminal. 
As a result, he had bought a ticket to board a Nong Khai-Udon Thani van, but was arrested at the checkpoint before he could complete his journey.
