webfact Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Aussie tourist on Phuket drugs rap Australian Richard Beaver in handcuffs at Chalong Police Station in Phuket yesterday. CHALONG, PHUKET: -- An Australian tourist was one of five drug suspects paraded by Chalong Police at a press conference in Phuket yesterday afternoon. Richard Beaver, 28, was allegedly caught with 0.9 grams of dry marijuana by police on Tuesday night. Mr Beaver was stopped on Soi Samakee 2 off Saiyuan Road at around 11:30pm. The tourist allegedly told police he bought the drugs for 500 baht from a Patong Beach dealer. Mr Beaver arrived in Phuket on March 10 for a holiday and planned to stay on the island for one month. Whether he makes it home within the planned time will now depend on how quickly a court hearing can be held. Four Thais caught with small quantities of ya bah (crystal methamphetamine) were also paraded at the conference, which took place at Chalong Police Station. Chalong Police Superintendent Wichit Intharasorn said his men were cracking down heavily on drug crime. “Those involved with drugs should turn over a new leaf right away, before they get arrested and punished,” he said. Col Wichit warned that the punishment for serious drug crimes was execution. -- Phuket Gazette 2010-03-18 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAWP Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Another tourist fallen for his own stupidity and overly draconian drug laws. And the farang cop should be a real cop if he is using all that gear and insignia on his uniform... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManilaLover Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) If police in Holland find 0.9 grams of herb in your pocket they will laugh and ask you if you need some more then at least then you can roll a decent joint... Nothing wrong with pot especially the Thai one but This Is Thailand and Herbal Beaver is not very clever to walk around with a even a useless crumb of the holy herb in his pocket. However Herbal Beaver should be send home with a warning: 'we truly apologize for the caused inconvenience, but this is Thailand and, like America and many other countries we believe that councious people are a possible threat to the government, so we kindly request you to leave the country, thank you for your understanding' Taking this as a crime is rediculous ofcourse and boss in own brain !

It is not the quantity that is at issue, it the fact that the police are making an example of Mr Beaver and others in so far as if they do drugs then they will face the consequences.

likewise Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Ridiculous !!! They'd better clean up their own ranks the BIB.

kainer Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 CHALONG, PHUKET: -- An Australian tourist was one of five drug suspects paraded by Chalong Police at a press conference in Phuket yesterday afternoon. "paraded by...at a press conference".... some kind of daunting example.... "so the world should know we even catch the small ones"...? Me don´t think every druguser who get caught with this amount of weed got paraded at a press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoydy Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Who say this?Can come back As a rule of thumb people prosecuted and found guilty in a Thai court for any type of drug offence will be fined and/or sentenced to time in jail. In addition to this they will be deported and blacklisted. There are instances where people should be deported but are not, but everyone goes on the blacklist and are not welcome back in Thailand.

aussiejosh Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I hope Thailands criminal system has become a lil more progressive than some of these posts. Plus what message would Thailand be sending if they come down hard on him? Not a good one. Whys the cop white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
