The Swiss was on a roll?

Smoking weed can cause long term mental problems , psychosis and other things 

weed comes way down the list when it comes to causing mental problems..

 

Alcoholism

Methamphetemines

Covid 19

Bitchy wife/girlfriend

Lousy job/ jerk boss

Crappy life

Not enough money..

 

I think you can see where I'm going with this..

 

But this guy probably ticks every box except the job/boss.

Is there any nationality more up market than the Swiss?

He's probably a very nice guy I am sure he will fit in Thailand just nice. But did he get his booster shot?

Sadly, too many arrive here with this description 

Sadly too, they are the lurid headline that gets shared, whereas the masses of decent travellers obviously barely get a mention.

 

Seen this type all over but I guess in Thailand, smashing a room up gets national coverage whereas in many countries, it's only the murders or very violent attacks etc., that get in the headlines.

 

He probably would have been less infamous had he done that in Pattaya  : )

An ounce for 500bht is a bit of a bargain .......... that would cost $200 in the USA

15 years ago maybe. In my hometown in Northern California pounds are going for $400 now for very good quality

It wouldn't have even made the news if he were Thai.

Right. The other decent traveller never got a mention,????

Another Westerner giving us all a bad name. It's meth which causes the violence, not weed.

I seem to recall some 30+ years ago, that people looking like him, ariving at Don Muang would be denied entry.

Hippies too.

He probably hadn't looked at himself in the mirror for a while and went berserk upon finally doing so...

 

Appears to have gone a little overboard with the 'ink' also...

 

This guy is the poster child for "Play stupid games and win stupid prizes". He should adjust well in a Thai prison, that's the only upside for him at this point.

Why the hell did they even let them off the plane

A stash of marijuana weighing 29.79 grams was found hidden in a dental floss box.

 

He admitted buying the drugs for 500 baht.

 

30 grams for less than $20. I pay that much for only a gram in the USA.

No mention in either the Daily News or Asean Now article as to whether he was a "tourist" rather than a long time expat.

Must be a long time tourist o4 refugee ( all expats are refugee for my definition). A new tourist will have difficulty in finding weed in an unknown place unless Nigerians are active in Sukhumvit again. 

Yet more evidence ganga makes you tattoo your entire body and

trash the place.

 

The demon weed claims another life.

 

It looks like his tattoo artist went berserk too!  ????

He looks innocent to me.

Swiss nationals are usually well behaved and I have never seen a swiss person, looking like that.

 

Is he swiss or did they need something "swiss" after the health minister's stunt?

Indeed. My dear Swiss grandfather who wore a white dress shirt, slacks and Bally shoes every day of his adult life would be rolling in his grave if he knew there were fellow countrymen like this chap.

Well, at least the poor fellow displays quality tats and drugs...

Wow, anyone know where he got it at that price...

 

erm...

 

asking for a friend...

Asked the wife and she said around here that would cost 1200b for 1 oz. She doesn't smoke but knows some locals that do

That must be a specially made dental floss box unless it belongs to elephants 5555 and only  500.thb for 30gm????????????may i know who the dealer is? ????????????

I always try to get a haircut and a shave before going thru immigration.  How did this guy get through?

No way does weed make people do that - complete tosh!  They might have found it but that's not what made him smash up his room - try testing him for Yabaa.

 

'Further tests at Koh Chang Hospital confirmed the presence of marijuana and methamphetamine in the man's system' - now that's more like it!

Obviously the methamphetamines causing the problems, the marijuana would normally make him relaxed .....

Maybe if he is someone who can handle marijuana yeah, but if he already had mental issues and it didn't agree with him it could have caused him to freak out. Especially if it is strong.

If you have an existing mental problem like Schizophrenia then pot may exacerbate the problem. I knew a bloke who would go incoherent, mumble to himself and get wound up after a few cones, but when he did a line of speed would calm down and even fall asleep. this was in the late 80's early 90's

I'm just confused as to why he came here instead of dating one of the Kardashian sisters.

Maybe, in spite of his appearance, he actually has good taste?

Locally $300 a lb. My wife has just trimmed legally about 10 lbs. She gets $100 a lb for her work.

What a lovely looking lad, a picture of a model tourists...Thailand need more affluent tourists like this guy...

Disturbing.

 

The tattoos are a red flag.

If it was my home stay I'd just say we are fully booked.

I guess I should add its harvest time in Oregon where it is legal to grow 6 plants each. There isn't much of a retail market here for the stuff. It was claimed that last year there was more grown in the state than could be smoked in 6 years. (your mileage may differ)

Obviously the alleged criminal's tattoo alleged "artist" went berzerk first. ????
