British, Romanian, Dutch Nationals Arrested in Second Samui Airport Cannabis Bust

[Jone500]

I can't believe the Dutch would be involved in this, but if it were the Romanians or the Brits, I wouldn't be surprised.

Why protect the top people I am not convinced that they were gullible enough to carry suitcases full of weed for a paid holiday everyone who gets caught seems to come up with the same story ! Do the crime do the time enjoy your stay in paradise

Nine people caught smuggling drugs over the Full Moon Party period.

Maybe organised from KPN.

Lots of cannabis plantations can be seen when riding around the island.

I haven’t seen any I must have my eyes closed please tell me what part of the island these places are and if they have licenses then they are legal !

It's not 60 day visa exemptions that's attracting the scum here.Its the cannabis law relaxation.

Why would anyone  carry weed ? 

Too bulky and there's not much money to be made. 

 

30bt per g in Thailand , £10 per g in the UK.

You mean outdoor growing? Pretty sure  this is all hydro, grown under lights

It was a toss-up between going to jail in Thailand or the UK because UK Customs dogs would have sniffed out the drugs at the airport. On the bright side they'll be able to extend their stay in their dream country.

 

Certainly they're in for some interesting experiences to yarn about with the grandkids ...

As a retired Customs officer I can tell you the same has been happening for the last 30 years plus. There are so many gullible uneducated people who think this is something new and therefore they won't get caught.. Dream on.

How did they ever think they were going to get away with that the drug dogs in Heathrow would have probably smelled that much weed in Samui 🙂

Heathrow dogs must have good noses! 🙂
