The Tourist Police based on Walking Street are always on the lookout for drug dealers who will often target tourists in the South Pattaya area and will attempt to sell them narcotics. In the early hours of Tuesday Morning, one such suspected drug dealer was apprehended in front of Soi Pattayaland 2 on Pattaya Beach. The suspect, Khun Pairat aged 42 was caught in possession of 0.5g of the class 5 drug Marijuana and a quantity of a white powder and some tablets which were found to be harmless. He was also carrying further packets of what appeared to be Marijuana but this was also found to be only Tobacco. The man was later transferred to Pattaya Police Station and charged with class 5 drugs offences.

Economic problems => reduced number of tourists without m/c helmets => fall in tea money revenue => forced to nick real crooks in case they are carrying cash.

Maybe if you let the TP know who these people are, they could deal with them.

I told them several times - I even pointed the guys out (in front of McDonals) because I couldnt even get a McChicken without getting offered McCoke

The Tourist police didnt care at all - so I wonder what made them arrest the guys this time

Anyway I am HAPPY that they are gone so I can get my BigMac without McJabba

Ask for some chappie named "Howard". He is a real vigilante crusader.

Probably because he was selling tobacco for marijuana. Read:He set up own business without purchasing from the Organization.

I am glad they got him off the street. For God's sake, tobacco can cause lung cancer!

By the way, is it hard on the lungs to snort baking soda?
