PHUKET: A 30-year-old man just one month out of prison has told police that he resorted to selling drugs because he could not find work due to the COVID-19 crisis.

 

Muang District Chief Administrative Officer (Palad) Danai Jaikaeng, along with Territorial Defense Volunteers and other officers arrested Atthaphon “Ping Ta Man” (“Evil Eye”) Saiklaew at about 3:30pm on Tuesday (Apr 7).

 

In a report of the arrest, Mr Danai said that officers had received a tip-off that Atthaphon was a drug dealer just out of jail – and that he could be found at the 7-Eleven store on Thepkasattri Rd in Moo 6, Rassada.

“Evil Eye”

Well at least he was honest.

Yes, Evil Eye would have found a nice job and gone straight this time if it wasn't for that pesky virus.

Obviously a job for the 'Caped Crusader' from 'Spotlight Thailand' and his catapult wielding associates!

Ahhh, the famous pointing of the finger.????????????☝️

I'll never trust people all tattooed up like that. I know a lot of decent people like tattoos just like a lot of decent people like guns. Anyone who would put it on his hands (or knuckles) or face is abnormal in the brain. Sorry of that offends anyone. You can get them removed, you know.

Thailand's crocodile man.

Oh well he will be back home soon enough.

That's a lot of meth to have on you. 

 

Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to send a runner to fetch the drugs after he gets somebody's money?  (I've watched watched The Wire so I know how to sling dope!)
