why do so many of them risk going to prison for years by committing nickel and dime crimes?

Maybe so they can get three square meals a day and a roof over their head!

He must of been 3 sheets to the wind to place it in his passport or was he desperate to spend the next 5/10 years on free B&B at the Bangkok Hilton 

Yeah must of.

Most likely kept passport in same space as the bag, and after a fresh up at the plane toilet, he dropped it in to his passport! Have done it with my credit card once. 

Agreed the most plausible explanation is that the small bag of charlie worked its way into the passport through a mix of location, motion and gravity.

 

Either way, not a good idea to leave the UK with even a small amount of coke in your man bag. I actually feel a bit sorry for the guy as he's obviously not an international drugs courier, but about to learn a severe lesson.  

 

I hope the kids out there contemplating coming here are reading stories like this and taking it all in, much like having travel insurance that covers all instances prior to arriving in Thailand / abroad.

2 years then deported to uk, or a heavy fine, sent back 6 - 12 months.

Not exactly a laugh and a joke, but not the end of the world. Painful mistake.

An earlier poster mentioned six months imprisonment and in the grand scheme of things, I reckon six months would be a maximum. However, he might get lucky and merely be deported on conviction given such a small amount.

Did you help him with that ?😁

Drug addicts are not the smartest people in the world, and this guy is just more proof of that.

  His future will include jail time for sure, and it seems he may be very broke as well.

      Way to go Brit dude, you might be almost a senior when you see freedom again.

He'll fit right in with a lot of "rocket scientists" that arrive in Thailand every day.

Somewhat off the topic of this thread...
My cousin is a rocket scientist.   His company shipped something up to the International Space Station recently.   

OK, completely off the topic of this thread ..!

how many times was his passport checked during his commute, he must be 10 cards short of a full deck or there is some other more sinister explanation for this, Phuket is not a place I would want to visit right now considering the seemingly active effort to by law enforcement to pick on farangs right now, I'd be giving it a very wide birth right now, who puts a small bag of illegal drugs in the pages of their passport and then hands it to immigration police at an airport ....................... think about it - seriously

There are a lot of idiots around, many years back an Italian tourist walked into a police station in the Amsterdam Red light and asked them to test his coke he just bought from a street dealer.
