The police never seem to be able to get the organizers?

" She also refused to unlock her mobile phone or give her phone’s PIN to police, citing fears of reprisal and intimidation."

Sounds like the 'mob'...??:unsure:

Manchester Airport has drug-sniffing dogs in the baggage arrival area. There are videos on YouTube about the dogs there.

I suspect that in the early days of Thailand liberalizing Cannabis, there were alot of smuggling. But as the years go by, with organized Crime, the smuggling becomes more prevalent and hence the increased monitoring and vigilance. So, any Smuggler better think twice... like cannon to the fodder. Low life criminals straight to jail. Smuggling will all stop with death penalty, especially in countries like Singapore and Malaysia.

Don't ask that question in Thailand. It's considered a challenge....

Police couldn't unlock phone? Take to yr local Thai phone shop, take care of you in a jiffy.

I was really surprised when Thailand legalized cannabis. Are there other tourist countries in the world that have made a similar controversial decision?

She was arrested in the UK not Thailand, it doesn’t state the police couldn’t unlock the phone but that she refused to unlock the phone or provide  the pin.

low returns, high risk. You would have to be a moron to smuggle weed with so many higher profit alternatives out there
