webfact Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Drug tycoons: prison's too good for them, says minister Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said Saturday that he was thinking of imprisoning drug-dealing prison inmates on some deserted island or old rig to part them from the old habit. "I'm thinking about asking the Royal Thai Navy to find an isolated island or unused old oil-drilling platform, possibly in the Gulf of Thailand, to put these nasty drug-dealing convicts on so they can't contact anyone to ply their trade," he said. The justice minister conceded, however, that this would need a change in the law. -- The Nation 2009/05/24 http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingne...hem-says-minist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Most of the islands in the Gulf have tropic vegetation. Too much paradise... Indeed an oil platform would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkdawg Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Why not use that that island in Montenegro that Thaksin's buying?It would stop him getting lonely. Yea good idea, and when he's feeling bored he can bump a few of em off like the good old days Edit: quoted text edited -mario2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsewell Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 You know it's only the people near the bottom of the "pile" that get sent to prison. The poor people probably need help more than punishment. It's probably not the drug dealing that makes them so nasty... I understand that drug use is an issue but it's only because these people commit other crimes when they run out of money to get the drugs. Why not send them some nice island to dry out and teach them how to meditate. At least that way they would probably be more compassionate about who they rob then they get back to the real world.

Scott Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think if they send them to the Montengran island, they might end up as extra-judicial statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Koh Tao wasn't it the place, several decades ago? You 'r' right. I remember I've read somewhere Koh Tao was indeed a prison colony decades ago... Something like "Devils Island" Papillon leaps into my mind Maybe some old facilities exist an can be re-used?

Johpa Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 there could be some empty containers soon in Sattahip - The gulf is rather shallow, so perhaps they could finally utilize the HTMS Chakri Naruebet for something other than a symbol of corruption of the Thai military leadership, by simply anchoring her out in the middle of the Gulf as a floating prison ship.

dieter1 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 please folks do not forget: all these poor drug-dealers, they show you on TV are just little poor men, to show you some show of law and order etc. The real drug- tycoons are in the high society of the wealth Thai ! And, and this made it real bullshitting, these tycoons belongs to the top of the military ! ! And for sure, you will not see that they will put the highest military persons (general, admirals) in a prison on a navy owned island ! Read some history of Thailand and you will see, that the military got the monopoly in in the "business" of prostitution and other business in the twilight zone for helping one former despot (no, they did start it already before Thaksin!) And who do you think can control the drug trade over the borders ? (and benefit mostly of these trade') Yes, the same people who wants us to believe they are always fighting against the evil drug-smugglers ! (but never be able to succeed!) I realy have problems to stand this shitty game and the daily pissing of lies at the people. And the most unpleasant: Many people do believe these shit- heads and cant get enough from the "hang them up"- no, not the bosses (military, polititions, etc.) they like it , if the small guys get tortured, little drug dealers from the next corner. It makes me vomit... These shitty "hang them up brigade" only wants to kill the"small" people. They never asked for hanging up the big fishes! And I can tell you why? Because they are little fearfull , shit in the pants people. People who did learn from their violant fathers (or others) to avoid every confrontation with mighty (or percieved mighty) people. But this treatment did them fill up with so much hate (!) and they urgently need a canal to let their hate outside. A way of acting hateful but without confrontation to the mighty ones !

neverdie Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well its a great idea to put these drug dealers out on such an island, but if they are going to all the trouble to do that perhaps they could also make room for rock spiders as well. If possible there could be a new tourist opportunity, simply boat cruises past the island where one could take 'pot shots' at the prisoners with high powered firearms. Now thats one tour I would take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflake Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I might enter the drug trade then, free boarding and food for the next 20 years on a tropical island? sounds like an improved version of castaway... I would like to live on a tropical island... Can't be that bad (Ok, guess it is, but not in my head) Nice beaches, nice waterfalls, no need to work, no need to bother about your visa...
