As long as it's all illegal ,poor people and those just doing it for the rush ,will risk going to jail and destroying their lives for

the money in dealing . it's all fun and fine& dandy til you get busted and have to pay the piper.

It will never stop ,til it's taken out of the Criminal elements hands ! A shame people are so dumb , to risk their freedom for money. But , easy to say if you have money, even if not allot of it!

People do strange things to survive , I think they figure Jail is better then having nothing,which to them that's a worse fate!

I had to laugh at this photo. Look at the sign on the door, pull each individuals finger and whoever farts the loudest gets used as a prosecution witness against the other two or has the opportunity to 'bubble up' the bigger fish for a reduced sentence.

although this article does not state it....these must be foreigners....because only foreigners break the law....thank God they are not Thai people. Once again, it just goes to show you that all crime is a result of foreigners in Thailand. [big sigh.......] Oh those terrible foreigners....why do they have to come to my country....[ big sigh......]
