British tourist Daniel-James Hallett, 38, was arrested in Thailand for allegedly attempting to smuggle 38kg of cannabis onto a London-bound flight. Thai officials discovered 35 vacuum-sealed bags in his luggage at Krabi International Airport. Hallett, a Hull-based tanker driver, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted under Thailand’s strict drug laws. Superintendent Apichat Jinaphen warned, "Importing or exporting cannabis without permission is illegal." Authorities urge tourists to follow regulations after multiple similar cases involving British nationals. Hallett remains in custody as court proceedings continue.
