Swedish tourist caught in string of Phuket drug arrests
Phuket Gazette

PHUKET: -- Karon Police arrested a Swedish tourist, along with three others, on drug charges last night.

Karon Police led by Karon Police Deputy Superintendent Sophon Borirak arrested a Swedish man and his female companion at a hotel near Taina Road in Karon (map here) at 6pm.

Police named the suspects as Jen Peter, 48, and Kwanpana “Tom” Thani, 29, from Saraburi.

“The two suspects were arrested with 430 milligrams of ya ice (crystal methamphetamine) and drug-taking paraphernalia,” said Lt Col Sophon.

“They both tested positive for drugs, and they both have been charged with possession of a category 1 drug,” he added.

After questioning the pair, police arrested Rungruang Kwanthong, 37, from Ranong, who was found in possession of 500mg ya ice and 44 pills of ya bah (methamphetamine), Col Sophon explained.

“Mr Rungruang was charged with possession of a category 1 drug with intent to sell,” he added.

Questioning Mr Rungruang led police to arrest Nattharin “Arm” Dansathaporn, 29, from Nakhon Sri Thammarat.

After setting up a drop-off point for plain-clothes police to buy drugs from Mr Nattharin, officers moved in and arrested him.

“Police arrested him and seized his pickup truck. He was found in possession of 700mg of ya ice, some drug-use items as well as a .38 handgun and seven bullets,” Col Sophon explained.

“Mr Nattharin was charged with possession of a category 1 drug with intent to sell and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition,” he said.

What is it with folk who risk ''lots'' with drugs that have stiff penalties in certain countries. Why not just get pissed on legal stuff and go home. coffee1.gif

Must add that l do feel a bit sorry for folk who must have their life controlled by heavy stuff. I think they are weak people, same as folk brainwashed to blow up kids for no real reason other than they are weak in the head. I cannot see any other reason. I drink beer every day, feel good, not kill anyone and have no problem with the BIB. Do not have to worry about anything. smile.png

Strange, even here in Thai, even bordering on the bizzare.

Or is is a cutting edge breakthrough called drug detection by proxy?

They know who the big movers are. Very personally I'm sure.

True, one of them is seen very often at the "guess which African country's embassy".

Don't you just love a country where a police can ask you to pee in a cup at ANY TIME ANY WHERE without probable cause?

Especially if you have a shy blatter.

Lucky they still can not inprison their citizens or any other countries citizens , AT ANY TIME ANY WHERE WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE ! Also they can not tap your phone, bank a/c, e-mail and torture AT ANY TIME ANY WHERE WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE!

Yes, I just love this country.It still is FREE!!

When all else fails, point at a room number.

I reckon the RTP could have got Charles Manson to willingly point at something.

They aim to make Karon a clean area free of drugs.

Are they going to eradicate alcohol and tobacco too?

Eradicate alcohol? No because it's not a drug; it's a drink. And as for tobacco: unlikely as it's more addictive than heroin

That and all those chemicals are pure poison! I wish they could control the countries that produce and profit from them. Pure poison i tell you.

I would have no problem with that if it were a concerted effort to eradicate drugs but just to catch a few tiddlers while the big fish are allowed to swim free is 'taking the piss' for no real gain.
