Officers from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) arrested a Korean man for using crystal meth at a condominium in the Sukhumvit neighbourhood of Bangkok. Police also believe he is involved with a Thai woman smuggling the drug from Thailand to South Korea.

 

The Korean suspect was identified as 46 year old Younbae Chun. He was apprehended yesterday, May 18, with 0.5 grammes of crystal methamphetamine and drug tools.

 

Chun admitted to using the drug, adding that he started using crystal meth after meeting a Thai woman on social media who sold the drug to him. Sometimes, the woman delivered the drug to him by herself, sometimes she left it in his condo mailbox while other times she hired a motorcycle taxi rider to deliver the drugs.

 

Chun has refused to disclose the Thai woman’s identity to the authorities.

 

Chun further revealed that he entered Thailand in 2006 and had been residing in the country for 17 years. He operated a tourism business in Thailand for five years, earning approximately 50,000 baht a month.

Arrested for posession/use but suspected to be an international kingpin because of what?

Some hunch by a random cop?

 

Sounds like they've got him for a low level charge and want to make him out to be some kind of bigshot.

 

I smell BS
