I once had a condom lodge in my PP the same way. I was fortunate to notice it before I handed it over.

You'd have been fine, importing and possessing rubbers is legal here.

was that was slipped in by an immigration officer. Think about it- seriously. 

Seriously?   Ridiculous.

"He was traveling with the brother of a Reddit poster on one of the Thailand forums.  According to him, it was probably from a previous trip and happened to be in the carry-on bag pocket where he put his passport".

It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Presumably, you can provide details of the other times that it has been done by Thai IOs at the airport to back up your claim?

I met one of the smarter British tourists here the other day he hid it up his arse when he went on a flight. 

[IndomitableSpirit]

Was he trying to bribe the IO w it?😫😂 He surely left his brain somewhere else. Reminds me of that song Dumb Ways to Die!😐

[shackleton]

Not the brightest spark getting picked up at Immigration with Cocaine in his passport 

What was he smoking 🚬

What an absolute plonker! To try to smuggle cocaine into the country is bad enough - but in his PASSPORT! 🤪

What’s with the UK barbers? All the young Brit lads I see nowadays have awful hairstyles 

That's because of all the Turkish barbers in the UK who aren't really barbers at all... 🙂

I tell all my friends visiting Thailand to ensure they have no cannabis on them when leaving the country, especially if travelling on to Malaysia or Singapore where the sniffer dogs at customs will sniff out even a few grains on clothing or or in a bag.

I got pulled up at Istanbul Airport a few years ago when my laptop and back-pack sent the cocaine detector off the scale!  When I told the customs officer that I lived in Burma, he laughed and said 'Ah, everything from Burma is covered in cocaine, clothes, money, everything....", and he let me into the country with no further investigation 🙂

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. The immigration just smiled at me

Didn't this same thing happen to an Aussie about a year ago?  Small bag containing cocaine in the passport at Phuket airport found by an immigration officer.  Utterly crazy way to get caught.

I don't think he tried to 'smuggle' the dope in his Passport....     the story is misleading with the mention that the cocaine was 'hidden' in his passport....     

 

... Its far more likely that the 'pouch' ending up in his passport is pure accident... 

 

Perhaps even travelling with it was pure accident too...    extremely complacent behavior from whichever perspective this is viewed.

Criminals, as a general rule, have lower than average intelligence. After all, why do so many of them risk going to prison for years by committing nickel and dime crimes?

Especially Politicians!
