Knowing Brits for many years, we know that most are pretty dim....but this guy takes the prize!

15-20 in Klong Prem for a few bob in sales!

Knowing many Brits and Americans Europeans Canadians  Australians etc.living here would say most Brits are far from dim and I am not a Brit.

The only statement he made when arrested was "Life under Kier Starmer doesn't sound so bad now"

 

I am sure I just read the other day that the UK was decriminalising ketamine in the UK due to the wdespread use 😀😀

He was acting suspiciously M'Lord............ was a line often used by police in the 50s when they wanted to detain you for no  reason at all--or they had a tip off and didn't want to reveal that fact. It went out of fashion after a big case defended by Clifford Mortimer (the father of john Mortimer--who wrote Rumble of the Bailey)

 

When the police were asked to demonstrate to the court what acting suspiciously actually looked like.  There were hoots of laughter as the police stumbled around the court room turning their collars up, and walking  up and down while trying to look backwards.

 

After that being stopped because you looked Suss sort of went out of fashion in the UK.

Silly fool - carrying drugs in Thailand is ridiculously stupid.

I wonder who are these 3 members?🤔

Yeah agree - the penalties here are pretty harsh but he must have known that, its a class B in the UK so he'd probably have got some time there.  Should count himself lucky he never had anything heavier on him.  Reckon the baggies probably sealed it for him might have got away with a slap if it was personal.

15 years in jail for carrying a horse tranquilizer? You're having a larf!..

 

Hopefully he can bribe his way to bail and skip over the border where he will be safe from the barbaric clutches of the Thai legal system.

 

 

Crimes are crimes and have to follow up with all consequences but not to let him slip and he'll be free. No way

Getting caught wasn't at the forefront of his thinking.

I did some in a hospital when they wanted to shove a camera up my butt.

 

No you did not, you got propofol, "milk" the sleeping agent that killed Michael Jackson. Common here in Thailand. Fentanyl is used as the ultimate in pain relief in hospitals.

Isn't it what all criminal thinking? "I'm too clever for the police to catch me"

Well if he is found GUILTY, he will enjoy his stay at ''THE BANGKOK HILTON'' 

 

Probably do 5 years here then be a guest of his Majesty.

 

It sucks they should do the crime where they get busted.

In the book "The Last Executioner" the Thai author says that the longest that farang do in Thai prisons is 8 years before being sent to chokey in their home country.

What about the crimes on Koh Tao in 2014 against the British tourists? That went unpunished...

Whatever but I don't think the governments role is to follow trends but to set standards instead. Instead of finding solutions should situations constitute what the norm is? For instance as homelessness becomes a huge problem should policy makers decide it's OK for people to sleep in their cars or pitch tents in parks instead of finding lasting humane solutions. The use of drugs is a general sign of hopelessness and unhappiness, instead of saying OK we're overwhelmed, do what you want, shouldn't the government's job be to find the causes for it and look for solutions?

 

The general world wide financial weakness, if not future collapse, has lawlessness, corruption, greed and selfishness as companions resulting in unemployment, homelessness, crime and drug taking, signs of a breakdown in society as governments throw up their hands and say, 'we give up'. The problem as I see it is at the same time as we have a world financial recession we have no strong, resourceful, pragmatic forward thinking governments anywhere, populist or ideological leaders are simply worsening the situation, unfortunately we are going to have wars and civil unrest as a result.

Is there a Gofundme been set up yet.

What absolute garbage.

 

Do you drink booze? Smoke cigarettes? Drink coffee and/or tea?

 

All of those are drugs, amigo...

For 6 small bags, no chance, if he claims personal it will be a fine.

Police arrested a British drug dealer in Phuket after observing him behaving suspiciously while meeting traffic officers on a road.

The Kamala police are probably the most corrupt on Phuket.

Well, It takes one to know one.

Yes they are drugs but apart from being socially acceptable they don't stop you functioning as a member of society with the exception of the excessive use of alcohol. Neither are they so addictive as to be a source of crime, I've never heard of a criminal tea cartel or from old ladies being robbed to pay for a cup of coffee. Although most people use alcohol sensibly there are people who misuse it and destroy their and their family's lives but this isn't the norm.

Wow! Another brit made to the headline news

Alcohol is statistically more harmful than heroin and it's legal...

 

How do you defend that?

Another Brit banged up abroad.

I can't help but wonder if the cops were just getting rid of their competition.

I don't, it's not something I'm passionate about nor will I argue for the sake of arguing. I made a post that went a little off topic, at 76 years old the demise of society doesn't concern me, what I read in the news leads me to believe that I made the right decision to live in Isaan.

I agree with you.

A British passport used to be the gold standard, these days days they appear to be handed out like confetti and are carried by people of many Nationalities and Ethnicities.
