Solvent Abuser causes chaos in seaside village in Sattahip District

SATTAHIP: -- Solvent abuse is on the increase in Thailand and is a cheap way for people to get high without spending large amounts of money to achieve a state of euphoria.

One solvent abuser who causes havoc in a small fishing town in Sattahip District has been arrested multiple times and is then released to continue terrorizing local business owners and residents who have had enough. For this reason, they contacted local journalists so they could highlight how the local authorities are failing to deal with the problem.

We watched as Khun Biak aged 25, armed with a plastic bag full of potentially deadly solvent, ingested the fumes in full public view and was clearly not in control of himself and is therefore a potential danger to others.

Not a problem confined to Sattahip it is rife in many parts of the world. Solvent sniffing does horrible things to the brain.

Unfortunately possesion of a solvent is usually not an illegal act making it very difficult to prevent or for the police to do anything about. The community members who are having problems with these folk shold steer them to the shops that sell the solvents, so they can clean up some of their own mess, but that is an unlikely solution.
