A couple from Melbourne suspects that drugs were planted on them at Bangkok Airport for the purpose of extortion.
The woman, who goes by the name Georgia, along with her boyfriend, was on the verge of checking in for their Phuket flight when they observed signs of tampering with their luggage.
Georgia remarked that one of the suitcase locks was absent and that the straps had been severed.
“As we investigated the suitcases, we noticed the lock was gone.
“When my boyfriend attempted to secure his suitcase, he found it had been cut.”
Afterwards, the couple checked into a nearby hotel and conducted a detailed examination of their bags.
They reported finding a small amount of marijuana concealed within one of the pockets.
“We believe this situation primarily revolved around money,” Georgia expressed.
“We’re incredibly fortunate that we didn’t board that flight. Who can say what might have happened to us otherwise?”
