A New Zealand man was arrested in Thailand on Saturday for allegedly receiving more than two kilogrammes of methamphetamine at a hotel in Bangkok.
According to a report in Thailand's The Nation newspaper a Thai woman and a Nigerian man were charged with delivering 2.06kg of meth to New Zealander Isidor Rein, 62.
The drugs were allegedly received by Rein hidden away in a secret compartment of a briefcase.
The Chiang Rai Times reports a source at the Office of the Narcotics Control Board said that John Oimma Emeka and Wararat Chansod, both 42, had reserved the hotel room where the alleged delivery took place.
Thai agencies made the arrests following a tip off that a New Zealand man was planning on smuggling drugs back home.
Police then placed the hotel room where the meeting occurred under surveillance and made the arrests when all three suspects arrived with suitcase in tow.
