The "comments" always cheer me up ......especially at the start of the week

[RJF]

Perhaps he was on his way to supply the PDRC guards in Bangkok. I walked past Asok/Sukhumvit the other day and boy, they were having a party! It put Amsterdam to shame.

[DD13]

For a start he becomes the "STAR TURN" for all the witty comments posted on here

[Bung]

Looks like he got left behind after a rock band tour.

[BlueSkyCowboy]

He's 40 years late for Woodstock!

and for Sunset Strip in Hollywood too. He looks like a Jesus impersonator, at least the way Jesus is depicted in the western world

[rwhoov]

Would be nice if the BIB would enforce parking regs on Second Road and help alleviate the daily gridlock that occurs. Guess the fine for "no helmet" pays better.

[samuibeachcomber]

It'll resold by the BIB ..a nice earner for them.

[lucifer666]

They're gonna crucify him in court.

[thailandbeachisland]

What a criminal ! These cops working about dope anywhere in the world make me throw out, especially in US.

It would be more honest to quote the actual law and penalties as below.

FOR CANNABIS UNDER CATEGORY 5:

• From 2-15 years imprisonment and a fine of 200,000 – 1,500,000 Baht for production, importation or exportation

• From 2-10 years imprisonment or a fine of 40,000 – 200,000 Baht or both for disposal or possession for the purpose of disposal. If the quantity is over 10 kilograms, the penalty is increased to a maximum of 15 years and a fine of 200,000 – 1,500,000 Baht

• Imprisonment not exceeding 5 years and or a fine not exceeding 100,000 Baht or both for possession

• Imprisonment not exceeding 1 year and a fine of 100,000 – 1,000,000 for consumption

But I guess we cannot let the truth get in the way of a good story.
