PHUKET: Three foreign men and a Thai woman were arrested yesterday on charges of attempting to smuggle 40 kilograms of heroin out of Thailand in a yacht.
Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) Deputy Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Suwat Chanitthikul said that two men from Hong Kong, whom he named as Barry Chung Oi Fung, 42, and Leung Pak Long, 20, were arrested at a hotel in Karon.
The general told the Gazette that the NSB had received a tip-off from the Hong Kong Police that the two men had brought the heroin, worth 50 million baht, from Bangkok to Phuket.
He said, “We arrested them when they brought two heavy suitcases out [of the hotel], and put them into their car.
“After questioning them, we were convinced that more people were involved.”
The police then went to the Yacht Haven Marina and arrested Briton Ian James Newton, 49, and his Thai wife Sangwan Newton, 38, the owners of the 15-meter yacht Short Time.
Gen Suwat said that no evidence of crime had been found during a search of the yacht, but police still believe the couple were involved in the smuggling attempt.
All four were taken to Bangkok and are currently undergoing interrogation at the NSB headquarters.

According to a report on Thai Visa, the farang they arrested was from New Zealand. He had a false British passport when arrested, hence the initial report you quoted saying he was a Brit.
