A large number of Thailand's RTP top brass turned out at a press conference to announce the resolution of two major drugs cases resulting in five arrests.

 

On show were 5.4 million Ya Ba (methamphetamine mixed with caffeine) and 560 kilos of marijuana. 

 

Appearing for the cameras with the hauls were deputy RTP commander Pol Gen Manu Mekmork. Daily News listed the other top brass in order of seniority - the names spanned six lines of print. 

 

The first case was resolved with the arrest of three men on Route 3283 in Singburi in central Thailand on Sunday. Cars, phones and cash were seized along with 27 sacks of pills.

 

The second case resulting in the expansion of an inquiry after a man was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs in the north east and a secret compartment was found in his vehicle.

 

This led to the arrest of two men in Udon Thani and the seizure of 560 kilograms of ganja, vehicles and other evidence.

Seem to be collecting quite a haul now ferrari joe is out of action for a while

560KG of good marijuuwana, or the bushiest of the bush?

Why do we have to suffer these puffed up posers? If a doctor or nurse manages to save a life, do they stand next to that person and announce 'Look at us. Aren't we clever?' No, that is their job and they get on with it, in a dignified and humble way. As do everyone else. Cops? Get on and do what you are paid to do. That is not to have your photo taken at every opportunity. Pathetic! You are wasting tax payers money.

Used less than the garbage one in Samui. 

I was wondering where my personal stash had gone ..............LOL

When will they show off the illicit booze their aircraft have been moving around Thailand?

 

  --  Does anyone here know if Policemen in Thailand are entitled to/eligible for cash-bonuses/rewards related to the value of the discovered/confiscated Drugs ?

 

 

Outdated laws based on the most boneheaded American legal insanity.  All of this fueled by astronomical American financial aid to the police sector.

Spot on, an astute comment.

No crowd of medical personel when I was discharged from hospital after a heart attack. Just a polite smile and a sodding great bill.

I understand Thai police get a percentage of the profit on the resale of confiscate items does that also apply here? (I am being facetious)

The low hanging fruit.

The beloved Royal Thai Police are set to announce  a  grand sale , of specified and special  items,   50% off  each and every item...

Special invitations  will be sent to  selected individuals known to be able to keep quiet.

They really never feel ridiculous ?!

 

Yet another reason why Thailand will NEVER attract wealthy investors; the police  have cornered the market.
