She was allegedly paid between Bt10,000 and Bt20,000 each time.She admitted to having done this three times before to earn money for her family, though she claimed that she did not know there were drugs inside the package because she had never looked.

joefromdc Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Something is indeed fishy about this story. Not only would all those drugs not fit in that bag, but it's hard for me to imagine that woman being able to non-nonchalantly carry 29 KG around. Maybe only half were in the bag and the other was found during a full body cavity search? Edited January 8, 2014 by joefromdc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 I love this country. It's great how you can be convicted of murder, get the death sentence and then be given bail, and here you can carry 29 kgs of ice, admit it and that you have also done it three times before and be 'suspected' of being involved in drugs. Funny ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post unanimosity Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) More brilliant non-reporting. How did they know she had drugs? What was the probable cause for searching her belongings? Have the BIB never even watched a movie? Why would they make a big deal over catching bait while ignoring the big fish? What possible motive could they have for not tracking the drugs to see who picks them up? When she said she didn't know the contents, did they not ask her where and when and with whom she had contracted to handle the mysterious package? Why would they not keep this under wraps, let the drugs advance, follow the drugs using GPS, and work with her to set up and identify the man who paid her? If she were truly duped into believing there was nothing illegal about handling the package she should jump at the chance to clear herself.

Funny ! With the presumption of innocence, she will only be 'suspected' of trafficking drugs until a court of law finds her 'guilty'. 'Accused' is a better term the news reporter could use in future.

steve down under Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Going by the size of those packages I would say theres a hell of a lot more than 26Kgs on that table ! Maybe 26Kgs left after the rest mysteriously disappeaered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If the other newspaper is correct, she did not carry it all in one go. She took in several parcels at a time and deposited each one in the luggage office. No doubt that would have raised suspicions. Any why did the BIBs not let the consignment go and chase after the big fish? Well, if they start to close down drug syndicates, that would mean fewer photo ops, and finger pointing would become an archaic art. Simple really.

h90 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 "Supanuch Hongsakrai, 28, was nabbed on Monday as she tried to check in a package at the bag-deposit counter." Must have been a huge package.

Colabamumbai Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Where are all the "we should legalize it and tax it" clowns today? Right here. You used to be able to buy yaba/speed in stores 20 years ago. There was no underground market for it. Heorin was the drug. If it was reintroduced there would be little need for the production and distribution of yaba and ice. But since many high level people in Thailand stand to make a lot of money it continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
