In Maha Sarakham, immigration police have arrested a 53-year-old German national, known as Mr Thomas, for drug possession and overstaying his visa by 377 days. The arrest took place at a resort in the Khwao area of Mueang Maha Sarakham district.

 

The incident unfolded after the local authorities received a tip-off from the resort owner about a foreign guest behaving suspiciously in Room 2.

 

When officers arrived, Mr Thomas appeared startled and attempted to tamper with the door lock, prompting a search. This led to the discovery of methamphetamine hidden in a plastic wrap behind the lock.

 

Mr Thomas, a 53-year-old German national, had entered Thailand via Suvarnabhumi Airport on 29 December 2023. He was initially granted a tourist visa valid until 27 January 2024, and even after extending his stay, his visa expired on 26 February 2024.

 

While the officers were checking his documents, Mr Thomas became agitated and informed them that he needed to shower and change clothes. As he moved towards the door, he suspiciously fiddled with the lock, prompting the officers to investigate further.

 

They discovered methamphetamine concealed in clear plastic wrap with black tape, which they seized.

 

During questioning, Mr Thomas admitted to using the drugs daily but insisted they belonged to a friend. He is now facing charges of illegal possession and use of methamphetamine, as well as visa overstay. Mr Thomas is currently in custody awaiting further legal proceedings, reported Siam Rath.

I can imagine him panicking when the cops arrived. Every criminal in prison thought they would get away with it.
