Thai women face 8 years prison for allegedly smuggling hashish to Bali

Two Thai women, Mayuree Prasomtong and Nontiya Janpechat, are facing up to eight years in prison and a 100 million rupiah fine for allegedly smuggling 308.25 grams of hashish into Bali, Indonesia. They were arrested at Ngurah Rai International Airport on March 10 after customs officers discovered six packages of hashish hidden inside diapers worn by the defendants. Prosecutors claim the drugs were intended for distribution to individuals named Juggernaught (also known as Kingkong) and Darren Granville Craig during their vacation in Bali. The women reportedly received the hashish via mail to Mayuree’s home in Thailand, where they divided it into smaller bundles and concealed them in their clothing. Both defendants admitted to prior involvement in bringing narcotics to Bali, including delivering a substance resembling honey to Craig in December 2025. Forensic testing confirmed the seized items contained hashish, which is classified as a Category I narcotic under Indonesia’s 2009 Narcotics Law.
