American expat and Thai wife arrested in Pattaya on drugs and weapon charges

[SteveK]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think many, if any farang criminals have actually been executed in Thailand, they either get their sentence commuted to life, get a royal pardon after so long, or get transferred back to a jail in their home country. Obviously in the mean time his life will become unbearable and he may die from illness or violence whilst inside.

I have to say that the pic in the op just sums this place up, the cop looks like he's been dragged through a hedge backwards, but don't forget boys n girls to wear your best bib and tucker when dealing with a lowly nobody at your local immigration.

 

Caveat: That lowly nobody can have you turfed out of the kingdom before your feet can touch the ground if he or she feels like it, such is life.

I guess it's down to who makes a deal first and judging by the look on Bart's face, he already knows he's the one that's buggered.

Literally in jail

He will be traded for cigarets while fighting to survive in a Thai prison....

No, just a conservative person who puts things away for a rainy day.  Hey, it's easy to use 200 rounds or more a day just practicing.

 

I probably have a thousand rounds or more of larger calibers, I don't count.  9 mm, .357, 7.62 x 39, 5.56 x 45, 45 ACP, etc. I have a handful of 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser rounds - nice rifle. 

 

Me, my brothers and my boys always enjoyed bangs, stinks and smokes.  But back then, you didn't get in much trouble for making pipe bombs, unless you made an arse of yourself. We were responsible, 55555.

I wonder if he was shipping to the US. If so the DEA would have tipped off Thai police. It looks like a well planned bust and the guy was caught off guard. Looks too much for local consumption and there is local competition. 

He'll wish he was in the US when caught because prisons in US are resorts compared to Thailand. 

I don't think so,he also had 205,500 baht in cash,so looks like

he was supplying local addicts,of which there are many,maybe

a few years in Thai prison,and if he survives, could be sent to

the US to finish his sentence.

Why not dealing drugs? Can hardly say it's for their consumption only?

one gram 2 thousands BHT on the streets. So it is close to tow millions. 50% for the street peddlers. Still he was hoping to get one million. Which is $30K USD. Can buy a 20-year elite. But alas his hope was shattered.

Unless he was flipping for years and finally got caught.

Most street level drug dealers are quite dumb tho......

got a kilo of the stuff and is doing 10gram deals... what a complete plank!

[bronzedude]

What's going to happen to the 205000 baht? Into the evidence locker? LOL

[mrblonde]

unlucky.  No sympathy at all.  In fact, chuckling to myself at the look on his face
