MJCM Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If you can't afford "The Life," ...GO HOME! They will not. A good friend hit rock bottom here and was clinging to just about everything to keep him here in Pattaya. Finally a couple of friends chipped in and give him the money to pay for this airfare and taxi and everything else (among other things paid the money he owed in rent). If we hadn't done that, I think he would be still here and would be wandering the streets or ended up in a life of crime. Now he has a decent low paid job back home, but in every email he sends there is always a small remark how he misses Pattaya and wants to get back asap.

TackyToo Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How about this: The cops caught another Brit with coke, ganja and amphetamine he bought from a bar girl in Bangkok. They forced him to empty his ATM account which held 40.000 Baht. After payment he received the drugs back. When he refused to take them of fears to get busted again as soon as he leaves the police station, he was told: No problem you can keep because you paid already for this.

Jim walker Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am sure Mr Palmer new fully the consequences of his actions to being a drug supplier in Thailand as I would also imagine being a teacher he would be well enough educated and not stupid and now he should be happy to accept the courts punishment for his evil crime with dignity and a stiff upper lip.

How would a bar girl be able to supply all three of these drugs efficiently, specially the coke which is far too expensive to be commonly used by bar girls and would require connections with drug dealers who supply hi-so Thais not low class hookers? Also why would some one want coke and ice at the same time. They are both stimulants but it would be like asking a bar girl to go out and buy you a bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite....oh and please pick up a bottle of Saeng Som while you're about it LOL. However, even though the story is obviously bullsh*t, the principle is not far off. I know several Thais who have paid a couple of thousand baht at the roadside after failing a breathalyser and the cops thanked them politely, helped them to their cars, waied them and told them to drive safely.

kruangfaifar Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 4000 baht! Nice to see they are concentrating on the "Big" dealers. Read it again. 4000 Baht was the amount to be bought in the sting but he was actually caught with over 20g which is worth a lot more than 4000 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonw8uk Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Noting from the picture that the drug seemed to be in powder form, rather than tablets like yaa baa, I was curious as to how it was administered and found these fascinating facts from Wikipedia. I wondered if Mr Palmer was in the habit of teaching his students about booty bumps and potato thumping during conversation practice. If he has not yet turned seropositive, it will probably be only a matter of time in prison. Luckily for him "yaa ice" is apparently as readily available in Thai prisons for those with money as it is on the outside. Suppository Suppository (anal or vaginal insertion) is a less popular method of administration used in the community with comparatively little research into its effects.[ Information on its use is largely anecdotal with reports of increased sexual pleasure and the effects of the drug lasting longer,though as methamphetamine is centrally active in the brain, these effects are likely experienced through the higher bioavailability of the drug in the bloodstream (second to injection) and the faster onset of action (than insufflation). Nicknames for the route of administration within some methamphetamine communities include a "butt rocket", a "booty bump", "potato thumping", "turkey basting", "plugging", "boofing", "suitcasing", "hooping", "keistering", "shafting", "bumming", and "shelving" (vaginal). Risk of sexually transmitted disease Men who use methamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA, and ketamine, are twice as likely to have unprotected sex than those who are drug naive, according to British research. American psychologist Perry N. Halkitis performed an analysis using data collected from community-based participants among gay and bisexual men to examine the associations between their methamphetamine use and sexual risk taking behaviors. Methamphetamine use was found to be related to higher frequencies of unprotected sexual intercourse in both HIV-positive and unknown casual partners in the study population. The association between methamphetamine use and unprotected acts were also more pronounced in HIV-positive participants. These findings suggested that methamphetamine use and engagement in unprotected anal intercourse are co-occurring risk behaviors that potentially heighten the risk of HIV transmission among gay and bisexual men. Methamphetamine allows users of both sexes to engage in prolonged sexual activity, which may cause genital sores and abrasions. Methamphetamine can also cause sores and abrasions in the mouth via bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding), which can turn typically low-risk sex acts, such as oral sex, into high-risk sexual activity. As with the injection of any drug, if a group of users share a common needle, blood-borne diseases, such as HIV or hepatitis, can be transmitted. The level of needle sharing among methamphetamine users is similar to that among other drug injection users. It doesn't say yaa baa. It says yaa ice, which is also known as crystal meth cos it looks like small crystals, or errrrr ice. It's crystal methamphetamine. It is usually smoked in a glass pipe, not stuffed up ur ass!! I guess this guy watched too much breaking bad, a tv series about a high school teacher in the US who starts an ice making empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have witnessed a shakedown where someone I was out with was pulled aside by 2 BiB and searched. They found an empty (some grains left) bag of coke. They was not interested in going to the station, only asking how much money he has. He paid 5000b. True story. With the corrupt police here, why would someone not believe this happens?!?! 300b for a driving infringement, or 5000b, 10000 up for drugs. It's a good pay day for the police.

We didn't say we didn't believe Thai police would give drugs back after being paid off. We said the actually story cited by the poster was made up because the details he inserted into it were lacked credibility. Anyway if the miscreant was a farang without high level connections they would probably take the drugs themselves and re-sell them, unless the quantity was too little for them to bother with.

Rimmer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 British School Teacher caught selling class 1 drugs by Pattaya Police PATTAYA:--A British Teacher who would allegedly sell drugs to tourists during school holidays, has been arrested by Pattaya Police. Mr. Steven Palmer aged 42 from Folkestone, Kent was arrested outside of his rented apartment in Soi Beokeow in Central Pattaya early on Sunday Morning following an undercover operation using 4,000 Baht in market bank notes to purchase Crystal Methamphetamine, commonly known as “Ice”, from the target. As soon as the operation was complete, Mr. Palmer was escorted to his rented room where a total of 20.54g of the drug were found, along with drug taking paraphernalia, digital scales and plastic bags, suggesting to Police he may be selling the drug on to others. It was determined that Mr. Palmer worked as a teacher at the Singsamut School in Sattahip District. To supplement his relatively low salary, it was thought he would sell drugs to foreigners Full story:http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/53689/british-school-teacher-caught-selling-class-1-drugs-pattaya-police/ -- Pattaya One 2012-04-23 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future English teachers to Thailand should keep in mind.....teaching does not pay well and selling drugs, while profitable will put your ass in the free accommodations of the Kingdom...and they are neither spacious nor luxurious. no matter how " profitable " it may appear the moment you engage in this activity you start competing with Thai operatives who can do any manner of private deals with the BIB and you wouldn't have a clue about it. stupid to even think about it from the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Of course it is a made up story. How would a bar girl be able to supply all three of these drugs efficiently," The mind boggles.... Have you never been to MBK, Seacon Square, Central Bangna, or any such place and asked a mobile phone or IT shopkeeper for things she didn't have in her shop, only to watch her run off to who knows where and return within a minute or two with what you wanted? It's not like they have to have it in inventory to get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
