Popular Post Nordic summer Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 That is a really small amount. I hate to judge before all the fact are on the table, but this looks like a token arrest. Better to spent resources on overstayers and maniacs. Points deducted from Thai police in this episode *sadface* 4 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sumongkhwai Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 Is he seriously just pointing at "a" mushroom as in just one? Agree with above poster that this appears to be a token arrest. Did they find any that would support sales or is it just that one lonely mushroom? 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sikishrory Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 What a joke. All the reggae bars on the roads in and out of patong sell them. If they wanted to do their jobs they would arrest them all in a day. Arresting this guy achieves nothing. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HauptmannUK Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 I find that rather a sad picture. Scrawny lad pointing at what I assume is a small bag containing some dried mushroom. 1g would be about the minimum amount of dried mushroom to achieve any effect. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
