Popular Post webfact Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Seven people have appeared in court including tourists following the raid on a premises in the Yannawa police jurisdiction in the Sathorn area of Bangkok. They are the first group of defendants who have admitted their guilt. Far more who have denied drug taking will see their cases in court today. Prosecutors took four Chinese men, one Thai man and two Thai women to the Bangkok South Municipal court. The Chinese men and Thai women admitted to taking the Class 1 drug methamphetamine and ketamine (Class 2). They were given 1-2 month prison sentences and fines of 8-16,000 baht. The fines were reduced to 4-8,000 baht due to their admissions and help in the case while the prison sentences were suspended for two years. The Thai man was convicted after admitting to taking a prohibited liquid drug and acquiring funds illegally. He was fined 4,200 baht reduced in half due to admission. There are still 56 - mostly Chinese tourists - who will appear in court today. These are the ones who are fighting charges. ASEAN NOW will bring you the result of the case as soon as we hear of it.

Popular Post bradiston Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 2100 THB fine? £50? Why bother? Who was given 1 month, and who 2? Ditto the 8-16k fines? Are they deterrents or inducements? Pay 2000 THB and you can do what you like for an evening! Ah well, who cares? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair question and it remains to be seen what happens to the ones that are fighting the charges, but I have a hunch that none of the Chinese tourists will be blacklisted. It would look really bad? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These included 99 Chinese citizens, 51 women and 48 men, 3 Thai women, a Thai man and a Cambodian national. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnsleyman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 you are wrong, the word Farang means Foreigner, so anybody not born in Thailand is a Farang, ie;-Foreigner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai law is applied in highly unequal amounts depending on who you are, where you come from and how much you pay. It's disgraceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
