He is now in the hands of the Pattaya police.

And they are rubbing them together with glee.

Was he also selling whitening deodorants that leave your body brown except for white armpits?

Dr. Holland pharmacy has been around for many years, I visited one branch in Naklua, very popular among the Russians.  I noticed all the labels were in Russian, so the owner probably made a nice profit buying cheap Thai drugs and sell it to Russian buyers for triple prices. 

But there are also Chinese pharmacies in Naklua doing the same thing, with all labels in Chinese.
