At just 150 baht a gram, how can you not snort it?

Now if the hard comedown or the extortionate price of coke doesnt stop you sniffing it, knowing youre snorting something that been up a blackmans bottom should.

Maybe it was Mr "T", he's back in town!

[freitag1]

Awesome prices! But of course not worth touching anything in this country with these extreme laws...

[londonthai]

snorting something that been up a blackmans bottom should.

racism and sexism aside, would snorting something which was in a white waman's fanny more acceptable?

there wasn't a tip off needed (if there was one they would be arrested on boarding in bangkok) - the airport police see the passengers list and cross check, how many times and how often they travel. It was one too many for them.

if they were bangkok based, taking a taxi ride would safe their as*es
