3 friends rented Honda CRF 250 L's in Chiang Mai 2 weeks ago. They did some off road trails north of Pang Mapha/ Soppong to the Shan State, Myanmar border & joked around with the Thai Army officers watching for drug trafficking across the border.


On the way back south one of the bikes got a puncture. The Honda CRF 250 L has a tool compartment on the rear LHS, when they opened it to get to the tools, they were horrified to find that there was a plastic bag filled with marijuana, stuffed in the tool compartment from the previous renter.


You can only imagine what could have happened if the Army had searched the bikes at the border -- Good idea to check the rental bike for this before you take it.

You sure the reaction was "horrified";)?
 
Well at least they had all the tools to calm down.
 
They could have burned the evidence :) Preferably using paper as a containment tool or by 'dragging' it through a water filled container if no paper was at hand ;)
