Popular Post webfact Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Picture: Daily News Region 5 police under the command of Pol Col Thawatchai Pongwiwattanachai announced the arrest of a British national who owns a solar cells import business in Chiang Mai and his Thai girlfriend, a DJ at a well known club. They had been selling drugs to hiso's in the northern Thai city for the last year. The British man claimed he was doing nothing wrong - he said like Robin Hood he was taking from the rich and giving to the poor saying he had given a million baht to children and people suffering from Covid-19 during the pandemic. Mitech KW (name transliterated from Thai and possibly incorrect) and Siriporn S, 32, were arrested separately and charged with possession and dealing in drugs. Taken into evidence were three Ecstacy tablets, 86.2 grams of marijuana and 55.5 grams of cocaine. Seized were a Corolla Altis with Chiang Mai plates and a white Toyota van with Bangkok plates, plus 20 bank books showing a large quantity of money. The police had become aware that a foreign man and his DJ girlfriend were selling three kinds of drugs via a Line group they had set up for hiso party-goers in Chiang Mai. Their inquiries indicated that the couple lived together at a luxury house in the Sanpuloei area of Doi Saket. A sting was set up and money was transferred to buy 8,000 baht's worth of cocaine and three Ecstacy tabs. The drugs were delivered to a central hotel by Mitech in the van where he was promptly arrested. A search of his house led to the arrest of Siriporn and discovery of other drugs. Mitech is the owner of a company importing solar cells, reported Daily News who said that after he came to Thailand he fell in love with Siriporn. He loved to smoke ganja and observed that there was a gap in the market for cocaine. So through his company and paying in Bitcoin he imported the drug from Europe using an online shopping deal. He said he only sold to people aged 30+, no children. In one year of dealing he had made plenty of money and he wanted to be a modern day Robin Hood. He used the money to buy things for children and the locals suffering with the Covid-19 pandemic and had already donated 1 million baht. The media quoted him as saying that he thought this was acceptable behaviour and that he was doing a good thing. Both him and his girlfriend are now in custody. They will be facing a very long jail sentence in Thailand should they be found guilty in court, notes ASEAN NOW. Daily News asked "What were you thinking?" in their headline. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-08-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 2 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that "affluent part of town" bit? SanPuLoei is just east of my place. I go through there often. It looks like ordinary countryside to me: some big houses, some shacks, lots of hard-working people, lots of fruit trees and rice. Ordinary.

Popular Post allanos Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 A new twist on the classic tale! So far, we have a modern Robin, a Maid Marion, and even the Sheriff of "Nottingham", or Chiang Mai at least, in the form of the redoubtable Police Colonel. Do we have waiting in the wings, yet to be revealed, a Friar Tuck, a Will Scarlet or even a minstrel, an Alan O'Dale? Is there more to this plot which is yet to be uncovered? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
