Pakistani Pill Pair Pricked

On Sunday evening undercover tourist police officers organized an operation at a north Pattaya petrol station designed to catch a pair of known dealers selling sexual enhancement drugs. At the petrol station police arrested two men, one identified as Shahid Bajwa, aged 36, and the other as 26-year-old Muhammad Talat, both from Pakistan. The pair were taken back to Pattaya police station in Soi 9 for interviewing.

At the time of their arrest they had 1,500 pills such as Viagra and Kamagra in their possession. Both men realized they could not claim the pills were for their own use. They simply confessed to having been engaged in this lucrative trade for much of the past two years. The pills are worth an estimated 100,000 baht on the streets. The pair said they purchased the pills from agents in the south of Thailand. The majority of their customers were foreigners. The two men will face court in the coming days.

Who comes up with the writing??? .... wouldnt be the first time i have read crazy, yet incredibily funny stories, that our going on in pattaya

Do they add comedy to the news stories there to make the place seem a little bit better???

.......

66 Baht a pill seems cheap for a 'street' price.

Regarding news reporting, whenever an elephant is in the news it must be refered to as a "pachyderm", and if alliteration can be used to link the word to the story even more so.
