Soldiers arrested two fleeing men in Mae Chan district of Chiang Rai and later seized about 3 million methamphetamine pills dumped while they were being chased through nearby Mae Ai border district of Chiang Mai early Friday morning.
Rangers from the army's Pha Muang Task Force were stationed on four routes often used by smugglers, acting on information that a large shipment of drugs would be moved inland from the border in Mae Ai district.
