Stall Owner Busted For Selling 'Amphetamine Noodles'
By Khaosod English



BANGKOK: -- A noodle vendor in Sattahip district of Chonburi province has been arrested for selling amphetamines inside her takeaway food package.

Ms. Somphon Plangklang is a longtime drug dealer who has previously been arrested for narcotics charges on three occasions, police officers said.

Known among local drug buyers as ′300 Baht Noodle′, Ms. Somphon would charge the drug buyers 100 baht for one bag of noodle and extra 200 baht for the amphetamines, concealed inside the noodle bags in order to avoid police detection.

However, she failed to identify undercover officers who ordered her goods in a sting operation.

Ms. Somphon confessed and explained her motives for the crime, stating that she needs to raise she made to pay back the underground loan she had previously borrowed to pay for her bail money.

".....stating that she needs to raise ...??.....she made to pay back the underground loan she had previously borrowed to pay for her bail money." which she needed to pay her bail bondsman after she was previously arrested for selling ganja with her kwaiteow and had to post bail.

I get the impression she's sitting down and also a short woman.

[Thainy Tim]

Does she also bake her own disco biscuits I wonder

[besth]

100 Baht for the noodles??? She should have been arrested just for that!

There is something wrong with that picture. It is the woman who is pointing at something and nobody is pointing at her.

Where is the police photo etiquette?

[rogerdee123]

Those guys standing around her in the photo look like they could use an energy boost ... or maybe a plate of noodles.

[transam]

Think the BiB line up sampled the noodles to be sure of the arrest..................

[crumpled]

Hash brownies on her next menu.

She is pointing at the 100 B note and complaining that the noodles were legit, and the 200 was for the drugs so she wants 100 back.

What the story didn't mention is that Ms. Somphon is only 23 years-old. That's what yabba will do to you

[ben2203]

She's a bad ass for an old woman hey.

Like an American cowboy with no legs--a low down bum.

Neither, she is just a low-life.

They already tried viagra coffee in Bangkok and got busted. But give the woman a break. So what if her noodles were spiced up a bit. How else can she make any money to pay back the mafia. She's a little old to work as a bar girl unless they have a retirement home she could work at. Now there's a thought!

[jacko45k]

Good job she was arrested, all these fat people fighting in Sattahip was becoming a nuisance.

caffeine speed: Ok, as much as you want

sugar and MSG: Ok, by the shovelfull

cigarettes: Ok, suck away

hemp: criminal, even tho no one has ever gotten stoned on hemp

amphetamine speed: criminal, even though most truck/bus drivers and most exam-taking students do it. And the next day, they don't do it.

Different with coffee or sugar or cigarettes. Any one of which are more addictive than speed, and arguably more harmful overall.

Are you for real? You are putting hemp & speed in the same category?

YaBa and Methamphetamine are better for you and less addictive then sugar and caffeine?

Wow

[brit1984]

photo is wrong - please could someone with "contacts" inform the police that, for all arrest news stories, ThaiVisa forum members expect and demand to see a photo of the cops pointing at the crook so we can make snide comments about this practice

[MantisMan]

She??

SHE!!??

[Raybo]

My wifes mother had a restaurant in Lopburi and the wife said it was common for her and other cooks to put

Marijuana seeds in the noodles or soup a flavoring.

The wife said everyone loved the noodles. No wonder!
