100kg poorly packaged. The sniffer dogs must have been wagging their tails in excitement miles before the plane landed.

 

I'm pretty sure they knew when the luggage was scanned inbound as well, I'm sure the guy stationed at the monitor was chuckling.

He checked 5 bags how long was he here?  And, checking a bag in child's name is unusual.

Whatever, he remains in custody throw the book at him and find the kids a better Dad then this loser.

Lucky for him, that Thai customs didn't arrest him, but chose to inform customs in UK instead.

He isn't committing a crime in Thailand.

I'm surprised it wasn't found when leaving thailand. Unless it was discovered and the Thai's gave the UK a heads up? 

 

 

 

I think that is a safe bet, with cannabis not being illegal here, they probably tipped off their British counterparts.

Possibly the dumbest smuggler in the entire world !!!

 

Which begs the question of how did he finance it?

 

He's obviously not the sharpest tool in the box, smuggling through major airports, with Cannabis having an unmistakable odor.

Not Thailand's problem as legal here, but likely gave the heads up...

Quick calculation, cannabis in Thailand sells for max 15kbht/kg, so 100kg in Thailand (cost £32k) becomes £1M in the UK.

X30 markup!

The fact is the smuggler would never get anything near that "street price".

street value in the UK isn't street value in Thailand, that's roughly 1-2,000 THB a package there from what i've seen sold on FB.

 

A spliff in the UK is 400 THB
