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.

Undercover tourist police officers? Well between the plainclothes officers and

the legions of volunteers, it's safe to assume they're all some form of police.

Let's do the math. Two guys 1500 blue pills = 750 each. Twice a day for a year doesn't seem out the range of possibilities. Defense rests.

You have heard.

The guys have been doing this for two years?

Why is the heading 'Unfortunate ...'? Strikes me they've been very fortunate to have lasted this long.

And what visas do they have?

In Pattaya those pills are worth more than 100,000 baht--you have to count the money that won't be spent entertaing the ladies (and boys) that the older gents would be spending.
