Mr Awara claimed to be a licensed doctor but the Mohican haircut, tattoos, and scruffy beard suggested otherwise.

That's a slippery slope blocking people out because of their appearance.

 

Oddly, a lot of guys who look like that are not criminals. 

 

We've found one 😉

Its a bit like when you wander into a bar and most farang can spot the gangsta/trouble maker/redneck/bogan the instant one steps in the door but Thais seem to struggle to tell the difference. I mean look at those blokes and one of them claiming to be a Doctor back home. A doctor of what? love? 🙂 

 

One of the things with Thailand is that they let so many nationalities in visa-free. The one thing being is that if they denied entry to foreign crims it would greatly affect arrivals numbers.

Wonder why the Thais are cracking down on Visas and Banking lately....here is a prime example of the impact on the Quality Tourists in the Land of Smiles.

 

These boys will go through TRT issues in prison.  F-ing More Runs.

They're also cracking down on counterfeit goods, I reckon it's to do with the fact that they're trying to secure a free trade agreement with the USA.

(Once that's signed it will be back to business as usual).

ecstasy, methamphetamine, ketamine, cocaine and psilocybin mushrooms. Other items confiscated included small plastic bags, a digital scale

So with all the drugs & intent to sell paraphernalia that was found, the po-po really needed to confiscate glass cups used for traditional medicine for further investigation?

There comes a point where additional investigations becomes just a waste of time that drains focus & resources from real necessary work.

They would be in the minority. People who want to give the impression they are bikies, gangsters, drug dealers , stand over men, etc etc dress to give that impression. Ladyboys dress and wear makeup to impersonate women. Majority of gay people dress and act to make awareness of being homosexual . A person identifies a policeman, fire fighter and people of the armed forces by their uniforms.  It is what the person portrays and wants  to be identified as 

Apparently left the barbershop 1/2 was through his haircut.

Immigration police raided a restaurant on Koh Samui and arrested two Lebanese nationals, after discovering a stash of narcotics, bulletproof vest and unusual medical equipment hidden inside a safe.

 

The raid took place at Buffalo Jungle Restaurant in Maret subdistrict, Koh Samui, under a search warrant issued by the Koh Samui Provincial Court. The operation was led by Pol Lt Gen Panumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, together with senior officers from the Surat Thani Immigration Division.

 

The suspects were identified as Mr. Ehab Awara, 38 and Mr. Chady Raiden, 28, both Lebanese citizens. Officers seized multiple categories of illicit drugs, including ecstasy, methamphetamine, ketamine, cocaine and psilocybin mushrooms. Other items confiscated included small plastic bags, a digital scale and  a bulletproof vest (classified as controlled military equipment).

 

The search expanded to other rooms within the Buffalo Jungle restaurant complex, where officers discovered a large safe in a two-story building across from the main restaurant. Inside the safe, police found acupuncture needles, boxes, glass cups and vacuum cylinders used for cupping therapy treatments.

Mr. Awara claimed to be a licensed doctor from abroad, asserting his qualifications to perform acupuncture and cupping therapy on tourists. However, authorities confiscated the medical equipment as evidence while investigating his credentials

 

Initial urine testing revealed that Mr. Raiden tested positive for drug use and admitted to having taken narcotics the previous day. Mr. Awara, however, refused to provide a sample and was charged with disobeying an order issued by the Narcotics Control Board, in addition to other offences.

 

The two men are now in custody pending further investigation and legal proceedings.

Just looking at them. You can see their scumbags maybe 10 years in our beautiful Bangkok Hilton will help them,, probably not after jail deport them never to return.

Tattoos & Mohawks? More quality tourists? Should have been denied entry at the airport. And sent home on the 1st available flight.. 

seldom see those Mohawk types at the immigration counters though. They must have gotten those haircuts during their stay here. Tattoos too.

Yes, that's a very valid statement. Just look at the pictures 🙈

But how do you make this practically work ? Rate the haircut ? Or # of tatoes ? 

 

Maybe the best a short quiz at the immigration: 2/3 ok, if less failed: 1st available return flight.

(1) What is the capitol of Thailand?

(2) Is Thailand a member of ASEAN?

(3) If you have 3 apples and you eat 1, how many are left?

And many criminals look nothing like that.  Many can appear very high class. Ask Tony.

Exactly.

Sometimes the wolf appears in sheep's garb.

Those are the ones you need to fear the most.

Because they hadn't gone to the barber shop yet and wore long sleeves.

Which barber did those two losers go to for their haircut? That alone ought to be a crime.

Just some Thai guy with a criminal record.

Absolutely gross looking.  I remember when you couldn’t get into Thailand if you looked like a hippie.  

Let them both sit in jail for a decade or two then deport them and blacklist them.I'm sure the boys will teach them shower etiquette inside.

Looks that somebody in a gold wing clad brown uniform,  did not receive his monthly "subscription fee". 

Fortunately Thailand isn't a welfare state so an influx of this lot isn't likely. Tho there's always so idiots like this, talk about dumb... Do they think they're invisible 😂

These are Hezbollah defectors. They have access to a huge drug empire. Royal Thai Police probably knew about their shinanagins, building a case for awhile.. turning them into trophies. These guys are experienced convicts. They'll be heading to the Hilton no doubt.

They probably started out as nice boys once......something happened on the way, causality had it in for them.

They should have been denied boarding at their departure airport.

Lebos cause mayhem in Australia control all drug imports & distribution SCUMBAGS

How do they control all the drug imports??

And the distribution???

How do they stop other nationalities bringing in drugs when the police can not even do that?

And if they control all the distribution why are police arresting Vietnamese, Chinese’, Italian, Brits and South Americans?

 

I call BS on your comment.
