Good to see that the number of tacit racists on A N is dwindling.

Only one poster banging on about ethnicity.

    Amazes me some still have a completely opposite idea of what weed does to the average person. Fact is, most high end crimes are done by businessmen, who steal much more than 1000 baht. Violence happen

Look like Bankstown Lebs

Even Habib needs a holiday sometimes, maybe thinking Bangkok could become Northwest Lakemba  

Riffraff from all over the world come to Thailand.

Whoever collides with Thai Laws (criminal acts) should be banned for at least 5 years.

DOPE !!! 😂

 

Six customers for spending a 1000bht , big spenders there .

Always amazes me these sellers put bag after bag on the counter to show people and don't think to maybe just show them 1 or 2 at a time . Not to mention the seller has probably been testing it in the shop so is stoned and not paying attention.

 

Sure, blame the victim for providing good customer service at his business.

If they were suspicious of everyone and only brought out one item at a time to examine, you'd probably complain that they hated Farang.

 

 

Sounds like those Aussies came in with a plan to distract, steal, and pass-off to another.

Nothing to do with victim blaming. Pretty sure if you went to buy weed you can only really smell one at a time so no need to put several bags on the counter . Not difficult to hand over 1-2 at a time for them to look at and smell , then if they want to smell more then get at least one back before handing out another. That way you keep track of it .

They obviously went in with a plan to distract the staff though the way they are all spread out along the counter.

In response to the incident, the Royal Thai Police and the Ministry of Tourism are reportedly considering a proposal to ban the wearing of black basketball tank tops by foreign nationals in nightlife areas, citing public safety and theft prevention

Idiots who have never heard of CCTV...now the medicine swallows.... Thai prison:cheesy:

Can you get prosecuted for stealing something that's illegal?  Can guarantee that the thc content was over the permitted 0.01% level

And how exactly can you "guarantee" that? You weren't one of the perpetrators were you?

P.S.[edit]

"Medical cannabis products, including oils and tinctures, with over 0.2% THC requires a prescription for use.[5][6] This includes consumption by smoking or vaping.]

Recreational cannabis, often referred to as 'recreational marijuana' or 'marijuana', has become legal under Thai Law."

Violence happens because someone is pushed beyond their limits, is doing drugs like meth and yaba which can make aggressive people more aggressive, those who drink alcohol who shouldn't and the mentally ill who aren't on anything but have psychological problems. Ban weed and others will look to those other drugs, that don't have a calming effect.

And here comes the old pot head. But but!

He said Aussies are convicts, not understanding there are also convicts in his country, no matter what that might be.

That's very judgemental...he could have been doing his civic duty by looking through the window seeing how its done before posting on this thread.

A concerned citizen with a penchant for facts.

.....and while you at it; alcohol too!

Good luck with that when one of the riches families in Thailand make their living off of alcohol!

"Theft during night time" commit your thievery prior to 18:30, jail time and fines reduced I assume.....
