Popular Post ubonr1971 Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 I go to Bkk once a month and noticed several times when walking past the BTS stations/ streets around Nana area that there are many African guys standing there staring at people walking past. One time I noticed a few of them arguing really loud at each other and the thai seller close by was not impressed at all. Non racial tone here. Just interested in why they are there everynight. Anyone know? 1 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in that area since almost 30 years, and I see them regularly. I heard they sell drugs. But they never ever asked me if I want to buy any. They also didn't (try to) talk to me about anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 Maybe it's their culture to hang around outside with similar guys. Sometimes I see then alone or two together and rumor is they sell drugs. But recently there are often maybe 20 of them in front of what used to be the Amari hotel in Soi 5 opposite Foodland. I go often to Foodland, at no specific time, and they seem to be there most of the time. No idea what they are doing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Faltu Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I used to buy ice from a guy named Peter, he was from Nigeria. He used to deliver me at Thonglo BTS mostly but will hang around in Soi 3. I used to live close to Thonglo BTS. It was 2011. Once I was caught near Nana, walking erratically and very high. Have to pay 10K to get out after siting all night in Lumpini police station. Police wanted to know who was my supplier. I kept telling them I bought it from a Nana girl and I don't know her phone number or whereabouts. Edited March 8, 2023 by Faltu 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
