Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 It barely matters what country you are arrested in. You never want to get caught smuggling a quantity of drugs. It has to be the worst nightmare, and it has to lead to alot of thoughts of "what on earth was I thinking?" 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eddie45 Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 It does matter. I am no expert but in Europe you might get 5-8 years in prison. In Thailand more like 25-30 years. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punishment for smuggling drugs, such as cocaine, into Thailand can be severe. It is considered a serious crime under Thai law and can result in lengthy prison sentences, or even the death penalty. The specific punishment will depend on the amount of drugs involved and the circumstances of the case. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagged or staged? Still, at least you and her have one thing in common. Neither of you is Chinese. You watch a lot of "border security" TV programs? Are those programs the sources for your figures? Most are Asians? 90% Chinese? Any links? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be signs in the Taiwan airports warning that smuggling drugs was punishable by death. I don't think they have been up in recent years so maybe laws there have changed.

Popular Post Iron Tongue Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 Look at the picture of what she's wearing. Not exactly a jet-setter, but more working class/tribal person. Her travelling by herself is going to set-off all sorts of alarms at immigration and call for a "further search". Poor woman, nobody's going to care when they throw her away into prison. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand more like 25-30 years. Probably get the same, but that 5-8 would certainly feel like 25-30 in a thai prison. I'm still for making drug smugglers eat their wares, but it would not be 'humane' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRGF Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I first came to Thailand 01-01-1978 and have been back many times since but I have never been stopped by Thai customs, not that I've ever been carrying anything illegal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaywalker Posted January 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2023 Japanese Customs guy stopped me in Okinawa (business trip on a flight from BKK & open return date for my flight). I was 34-ish. He asked (in perfect English) if I had any cocaine or heroin with me. I don't even smoke weed. I started slapping my pockets and said "Nope. I'm fresh out. But if I did have some, I'd share it with ya. Then we could both get high". He just looked disgusted at me and said "You can go".???? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BarraMarra Posted January 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) If she flew from Doha I would imagine she flew with Qatar. Why was she not searched in Doha? Or was it because she was wearing the Hijab so was allowed through at Doha security? Edited January 21, 2023 by BarraMarra 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I would say at least 70% of my friends were using it as (one of) their party drug(s), now we are older and some of us party less the numbers have dropped, but many still use it from time to time. The only people I know who are really against party drugs are really old people who never enjoyed any kind of party lifestyle when they were younger and are still brainwashed by the anti-drug messages of the 50's and 60's. We are all adults we should be able to choose how we want to enjoy life. If people want to have fun with party drugs they should be able to make that choice.
