PHUKET: Police last night arrested a drug runner at the Tah Chat Chai Checkpoint who confessed to smuggling drugs from Surat Thani and selling them in Phuket Town.

Acting on a tip-off, police stopped and searched a Honda Jazz being driven by Sitthichai Chusang, 39, at about 8:30pm while he was trying to leave the island.

Officers found only 300mg of ya ice (crystal methamphetamine) hidden in a chewing gum container inside the car.

During questioning by police, Mr Sittichai confessed to buying drugs from a contact in his hometown of Surat Thani and bringing them into Phuket.

“Mr Sitthichai confessed that he bought all his drugs from a dealer based in Surat Thani,” said Kathu District Chief Administrative Officer Wisut Romin, whose office received the tip-off.

“He rented a room near Suan Luang [Rama IX Park, also known as King’s Park in Phuket Town] to sell drugs to residents in the area,” he added.

Police searched the rented room and found 500 pills of ya bah (methamphetamine) and 18 more bags of ya ice with a total weight of 22.6 grams.

“Mr Sittichai was charged with the possession, sale and distribution of a Category 1 narcotic,” Mr Wisut said.

Hope he is banged up for a long time. Might get a sweeter deal is he tells who is the Surat dealer.

I do not understand why he confessed to this and that.

he just get him self into more trouble. Sometimes Thais are so stupid, sorry, but it's true. In many ways in life.

They all do never noticed, could be a little persuasion takes place, after that maybe they are wise enough not to complain.

You have to confess and save everyones time, and you get less time also.

If you watch T.V. you will see that collectively every 3 days or so there are a million yaba tabs busted,, throughout the country.

I am sure that it is not the tourists taking the most of the yaba and the ice.

So there are an awful lot of Thai people high on yaba and ice.
