Naew Na Thai Caption: Drugged up rampage!

 

Naew Na reported that Chiang Saen immigration, local and tourist police responded to calls from the public about a foreign man creating a disturbance in the parking lot of a hotel in Wiang sub-district.

 

This is in Chiang Rai in the far north of Thailand.

 

A Chinese man who looked like he was drunk or on drugs was shouting loudly and creating annoyance.

 

The officials identified themselves then took Fan Hongbin, 51, aside to calm down.

 

A body search and search of his room revealed the presence of 19 yaba (amphetamine mixed with caffeine, a drug of choice in Thailand).

 

He admitted to buying the drugs two days prior and taking them.

 

He was arrested and detained on a charge of taking a Class 1 drug and being in possession of a Class 1 drug, namely yaba.

I thought the new law says possession of more than one yaba tablet means a charge of possession for sale.
