Proper E goes for far higher in Thailand, i once asked prices i was shocked. Really worth wile to import if you don't get caught. Not worth the risk for me dealers almost always get caught.

Cambodia...say no more..

Viagara is not comparable to E. Viagara can affect the brain. Anyway Cialis is superior to Viagara. There has never in the history of E use been one single case of brain rot. The very  idea of brain rot  is simply nonsense propaganda aimed at credulous idiots.

I doubt he did himself any favors by (apparently) ripping up the warrants.

Its a bit like sending teabags to England full of yaba

Looks like Ebeneezer will be spending a while in the hilton.

Easy to set anyone up. post drugs and tip off the bib. if the guy had no drugs already at home  then he could deny deny deny everything. Not easy to prove anything

Proof doesn't really matter in Thailand, I'm sure he would have been sent to the hông gong anyway!

Not sure if ecstasy is readily available here. Make a killing at those full moon parties.

Yeah, he was probably making a killing. I assume he’s been doing this for some time already, either his luck finally ran out, or the local drug dealers needed to stamp out the competition.

What an absurd comment. All recreational drug users have families. If they are dealers that us how they support their dependants.

Supposing someone got your address and sent you a load of drugs through the post to your Thai address? What would happen to you....and your family?

why would someone send enough drugs to an other just to get him arrested. Seems like an awful lot of money to stitch someone up.

 

Yes most recreational users have families they are not much different from people who do drugs like alcohol.

You gotta be a serious nugget to address it to yourself so many nationals that would take the back hand for the risk 15kg is death sentence surely

They cost 2 euro each in Holland.

 

I don't know the RRP in KPG, but for proper E's in the land of dirty yabaa, perhaps 300 baht?

 

100k+ baht profit if so.

 

Selling to backpackers at 500thb, 200k+ profit.

 

If 1k baht, almost half a million profit.

 

 

I don't know the RRP in KPG, but would wager it's not less than 300b, and more than likely quite a bit more. 

 

 

200,000 baht divided by twenty years in jail? ................That is IF he can get 500 baht each, which I doubt.

 

10,000 baht a year,...........A whopping  833 baht a month!

 

Maybe he would have been better selling those noodles!.....????????

 

 

 

[Scouse123]

The guy has all kinds of nonsense heading his way.

 

If he doesn't have big money to get the charges reduced, he can be up on importation of class A drugs according to Thai law.

 

Also, possession with intent to supply class A drugs and a host of other charges. Silly man.

 

It's no good posters showing links and promoting the benefits of Ecstasy, it's Class A or Class 1, drugs in Thailand.

 

Cocaine carries less of a sentence or it did, as it was category B, or Class 2 offense back in the day, unless the law has changed and I cannot be bothered researching it.

 

Either way the police get the reward, either he coughs up the cash big time or he goes to jail for a long time and the cops get a promotion for ' doing their duty '  as the good, honest, boys in brown that they are.

 

A life ruined and two other lives put into hardship because of stupidity.

I mean its one thing getting drugs sent to your address, its another to already have 15g of meth there too.

I imagine that he will be punished severely for this, as a friend of mine recently received a four-year sentence for having 0.7g of Ice.

An Italian man has been arrested after a large quantity of ecstasy pills were found stashed inside a package mailed to him from the Netherlands. 

Holidays over for him, sadly the missus & daughter are going to find it a bit more difficult from now on... when he's banged up for a few years she will probably drop him for another sponsor.

Rather disturbing to hear that you could be arrested for something you receive in the post. Would make it unbelievably easy to set anyone up.

Yes, I'm going to start posting 'Yaba' pills to everyone I don't like right now.

I'll write 'YABA inside' just to make sure they all get arrested.

 As an Italian, he should have asked for instant spaghetti ????

He had 15 grams of methamphetamine in his house yes, but  500 pills is a lot more than 15 grams, so the future of this poor man is really dark????

Can't be sure about Thailand, but in most countries when drugs are found in the post they work a sting operation to see who collects the package. This provides proof of ownership. Not so easy to set someone up this way.

 

I'm not sure why local dealers would use mail from Europe to set someone up as another poster suggested.
