It is so easy stay away from prositude or just dont bring them with you and stay away from drugs. Drugs fuc_k up lifes for so meny people and will only make the mafia ore rich and stronger. So just kill al 4 of them.......

Drug money and being used to buy weapen in the 3 world, so people who buy drung are guilty of all the killing in the 3 world.

So why dont al the farang that use drugs just go and fuc_k out of thailand back to there own country. All the farang how do stupid things in thailand make it more difficult for all of us who just want a normale life here.

I agree,i have lived in thailand for 10 years now and never heard or saw a thai native involved with drugs or ever break any law.they are respectfull and near perfect people.Farangs can learn alot from thai peoples perfect lawfull ways that they have never deviated from since time began im 100% sure.

We all know that drugs are not allowed in Thailand. We've to respect that.

some people never learn SOMNOMNA !!

These 3 Italian Men should have known better especialy at there age, they are not exactly teenagers.

It is people like this that make us all look bad.

Messing with Drugs in a foriegn Country, how stupid.

A very small time pot bust. Why is this reported as "news"? And why was it decided to send this "news" round to the whole ThaiVisa member database? Must be a slow news day today...

If this is not a clear case of set up or extortion, then i do not know what is.

How the "F" would police know what 4 people are doing in their hotel room??????????????????????

"They were charged with having narcotics in possession for abusing." ABUSING WHAT??? Drugs? Thai woman? their own body?

People do not realize that half the Thai population is informing on the other half. Even schoolchildren as young as 7 or 8 are enlisted to inform on their family and this is proudly shown on TV. The DDR did the same but maintained less freedoms for their citizens.

These 3 Italian Men should have known better especialy at there age, they are not exactly teenagers.

Messing with Drugs in a foriegn Country, how stupid.

This is Thailand and EVERYBODY know that any type of drug is iligal here, so anyone who gets court deserves every thing they get.

Drugs kill people and wreck lives.

Don't do it.

Sounds like the old sell and bust from the BIBS, who then collect said contraband and resell.

can you all stop pointing fingers at the BIB or the hooker?

thing is simple , these are stupid people who came here and did indulge in ganja and Ice .... everyone know the risks .... if they are stupid enough to do it anyway , they deserve the 3 months probation , the 1000 baht fine when they will go to court , the wait for their return flight at suan plu's immigration prison and the red stamp "Persona Non Grata 50 years" on their passport ( not mentioning being brought to their seat on the plane with handcuffs in front of other passengers ) .

good riddance !!

( i have nothing against drugs, if you want to enjoy getting high, go to Amsterdam , but i really hate stupid people and whether or not they have been set up , the source of the problem is the same .... everyone knows you don't play with drugs in Thailand or else .... )

So you are on your bike (motorcycle) its after 12pm, your accompanied by your lady for hire, you've drunk copious amounts of beer beforehand....neither of you are wearing helmets. You stop off for some street side som-tam, further alcholic refreshments and smoke a few cigarettes while you are at it....Then its back to yours with your bint to finish the night off with some bedroom gymnastics (maybe some Viagra chucked in to the mix) while watching a couple of pirated porno DVDs you bought on the street.

WHAT ?????? explain to me what is the truth you want us all to understand ............

Why only 1 girl? kiinowi !

they spent all their money on the drugs, but they can share the girl...

someone ask:

Why is this even News worthy? Because these guys for some reason or another Did Not Pay the Bribe!

maybe they were broke and could only afford the drugs and 1 girl, as stated above..

OH BOY, you all do such illegal stuff (hire a Hooker,smoke in public places, buy copyrighted porn CDs ,drive drunk without helmet) in THAILAND?

You all end up in monkey-house better watch out the boys in brown!!!

Better relax and smoke a fatty!!

Leeeeeeeegalize Maaariiiijuhhaaannnnnnnnaaaaa

I do not know much about illicit drugs but this does sound like an amount that could be claimed as for "Personal Use" and as there were 4 poeple in the room at the time of the raid then it would be hard to determine beyond reasonable doubt as to who owned them.

Sensible option would be to "piss test" the four and those who test positive should be prosecuted for using illicit drugs.

3 men, 1 lady, just another 3 Cheep Charlie's on tour...

WT..F seems to be the problem. They did something illegal and got busted. In Europe you'll get stress for 20g too.

But I agree with some, the cheap charlie 3 on 1 deal is the despicable part.

Its tough in Pattaya for the bib and hookers. My concern here is that the girl was working with the bib and just planted the drugs. Nothing surprises me any more with corruption and extortion in this country

OK I'll explain it just for you...

1) Who says drugs are worse than alcohol, cigarettes, driving a motorcycle under the influence, contributing to the world of pirating, pornography, prostitution, the sell of prescription drugs over the counter ...Who is in a position to judge....Have you never done anything illegal?

2) It is illegal to drink and smoke in Thailand in public places...consult your local policeman.

3) Som Nom Na is not an answer..it's illegal in Thailand..as you obviously put your life in danger.

4) Prostitution is illegal so is pirating in Thailand...again consult your local policeman.

My point is THOSE THAT LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN"T CALL A GAMEKEEPER BLACK...ESPECIALLY IN THIS PLACE!

Why is this 12th page story (if it even deserves that) so significant ?

Just because it involved Italians ?

Sheesh ... are we THAT bored ?

Farang?????

1) Who says drugs are worse than alcohol, cigarettes, driving a motorcycle under the influence, contributing to the world of pirating, pornography, prostitution, the sell of prescription drugs over the counter ...Who is in a position to judge....Have you never done anything illegal?

2) It is illegal to drink and smoke in Thailand in public places...consult your local policeman.

1) Who says drugs are worse than alcohol, cigarettes, driving a motorcycle under the influence, contributing to the world of pirating, pornography, prostitution, the sell of prescription drugs over the counter ...Who is in a position to judge....Have you never done anything illegal? i used to do all kinds of drugs and illegal shit in MY country , since i live in Thailand i behave because i know the risks , like everyone does , and i don't drive drunk , and i wear helmets when on a motorbike , i don't hire hookers anyway

2) It is illegal to drink and smoke in Thailand in public places...consult your local policeman. it is NOT illegal to drink in the street ( but i do not drink in the street anyway) and smoking is prohibited in restaurants , air cond locations, bars and bus stops , NOT in "public places".

3) Som Nom Na is not an answer..it's illegal in Thailand..as you obviously put your life in danger. yes SOMNOMNA is MY answer to people who put their freedom at stakes while they know the risks

4) Prostitution is illegal so is pirating in Thailand...again consult your local policeman. i never said it wasn't illegal , just that the risks of hiring a hooker and byuing a pirate DVD are not comparable to the risks of buying or using drugs

so once again , in your self rightgeousness , what are you telling us? the poor guys were right to buy and use drugs? and we are all idiots except you because there are many other things illegal ?

All you guys seem to be missing the main point.

Obviously people will continue to do drugs, but before you were safe if you were doing in your room, behind closed doors and did not go to disco, now even that is being made into a problem.

Not only that, but it makes you think twice about what else they will come up with during the low times to extort money

sorry but when i was younger and stupid back in 1995 i used to hang out with a high ranking police officer who smoke ganja and yabaa ( back then called ya maa ) and even him was putting up joss sticks ( incense) and towels under the door before lightning up a "fatty" or chasing the dragon ... it has NEVER been safe to smoke or do anything illegal in your room even as a policeman

You are mistaken, even though there is a lot of extortion going on, this case isn't. They did something illegal in presence of a stranger behind a door that didn't belong to them.

If you get caught DUI, will you blame it on Thailand's massive extortion? I won't.
