CHIANG MAI: -- The Office of the Narcotics Control Board has ordered the seizure of about 150 million baht worth of assets from a wellknown disc jockey in Chiang Mai after he was arrested in April together with 292,000 methamphitamine tablets.

Ohhh, his mia nois are not gonna be happy now.

The more they advertise how much these guys make from dealing in meth , the more attractive it is to boneheads to copy and to take the risk. And the smarter ones know the more money you make ,the safer you are by being able to drop cash into certain peoples pockets. Safe that is until you piss some bigger bozo off.

Ok!!! ok!!! I know it makes the Narcotics cops or the BIB look like they doing something and it will also keep them in business..

Police seize drug suspect's assets worth Bt150m
The Sunday Nation

CHIANG MAI: -- Up to Bt150 million worth of assets in Chiang Mai's Phrao district belonging to drug suspect Anan Jaiwan have been seized, police told the press yesterday.

Deputy National Police chief Pol General Pongsapat Pongcharoen, who is also secretary-general of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), and related senior officials announced the asset seizure after Anan was arrested in Chai Prakan district along with 292,000 'yaba' pills on April 4.

Anan, who is also show host on Phrao community radio, reportedly confessed to transporting drugs at least four times before. He said he trafficked drugs because he needed money to pay off the loan he took to finance his automobile sound system business.

Separately, police manning a checkpoint in Nong Khai's Muang district arrested two men in their 20s with some 800,000 'yaba' pills in their car yesterday morning. They were allegedly hired to smuggle the narcotics from Laos to Nakhon Sawan in exchange for Bt200,000.

Meanwhile, police arrested four men with 22,000 'yaba' pills and three guns in Songkhla's Saba Yoi district yesterday during a raid in tambon Than Khiri. One suspect, Tuwaemuhammad-nase Sureng, 52, reportedly confessed to owning the drugs.

ive never seen the police take that much time to do a random stop check, sounds like they were waiting for him to arrive. and why would you carry that amount of gear yourself?

[davidmann]

they say crime does not pay ,seems to pay very well to me ,but don't get caught ,

[tingtongteesood]

So let me get this straight, this guy is worth over 150 million baht and tried selling drugs to pay off his bank loan. How big was the loan ( article gives no indication ). Any normal person would just sell a car or one of the houses or something to pay the loan off. I would call this guy insanely stupid, but he must be smarter than me since he is worth 150 million baht more than I am.....I guess greed got the better of him.

YA gotta love that for sure.

[Jim walker]

He will have to do a few more drug runs now to recoup some of that 150Million Baht assets, hope they use money to build some drug rehab clinics, they should have given him the death sentence to set a good example to other drug dealers, I am sure his old customers will be well looked after by the next in line drug dealer.
