Popular Post cooked Posted November 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2012 If he hasn't been able to buy his way out by now, he is in trouble. Repeat after me: I must not indulge in drugs in SE Asia. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PomRakBKK Posted November 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) 35g is quite a lot. Still not too late to buy your way out, its just getting a lot more expensive as soon as you get to the station and more people involved. If he cant pay, be prepared for jail and deportation. You know your friend doesnt require a business visa for selling dope Edited November 21, 2012 by PomRakBKK 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pormax Posted November 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2012 What's the saying? Don't want to do the time, then don't do the crime. I think it will be jail followed by deportation and will never be allowed back in LOS. No sympathy for your friend. Anyone caught with or use drugs are stupid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theslime Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Tell him to pay what ever. If he acts scared they might charge double. my friend had a bit more grass. 200,000bt fine and 3 years. and he is a poor thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in England, the police plant it on the accused, or 2 gm becomes 200 gm (whoops) as in a recent case here in Thailand. Glad to see that you are not stupid, nor ever have been.

tinfoilhat Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) it is a little more than 1.2 oz. not a little, certainly not alot. As has been said, the longer it drags on the more expensive and harder to make go away it will get Edited November 21, 2012 by tinfoilhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 That is quite a lot, especially for S.E Asia. I'd be interested to know what the punishment will be.

OZEMADE Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Your friend got caught with drugs which are illegal in Thailand and as a business man would have known this. On the other hand not a very smart business man getting caught, so he will now have to do the time and possibly be deported after that. What a dumb s**t. No sympathy here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeleJoe Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Indeed it becomes much more expensive once it's in the books (and senior folks get involved); however sometimes "bail" is granted (and even charges revised to a lesser offense) with the unwritten understanding that the alleged perpetrator will leave the country (sometimes with his mysteriously returned passport or a new one)and never return (and a blacklisting in an attempt to ensure the latter).

hookedondhamma Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 For all reading in a similar situation (i bet there few lurkers checking this topic out), please be careful when dealing with 'illegal' substances and other plants while in this country. OP, I am sorry about your friend and hope that things work out for the better with him. I also hope that this serves as a wake-up call for him. it is probably risky enough in his home country, less than some country in SE asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmyself Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Indeed it becomes much more expensive once it's in the books (and senior folks get involved) Spot on I would say. Fella I mentioned earlier said that 30k could get it sorted within 30 minutes in most cases. Once it got to an hour the cost would most likely be 300k. Maybe he didn't have the 300k? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Not much weed really a bit over an ounce. Silly getting caught thou. I doubt whether he will do any jail time. Cops dont really care that much about weed. If the paperwork is done like others have said it will cost more for the whole thing to go away.
