PHUKET: French tourist arrested in drug bust

[SamuiAxe]

Sorry, can't find any sympathy for this guy.. He's has been a very stupid young man who now has to live with the consequences of the choices he made....

[Jungle Jim]

It just proves how stupid foreigners are in Thailand. Hope he rots in the Bangkok Hilton. Now if only the police can catch all the other foreign criminals hiding in Thailand. I would start with Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Hua Hin, Koh Phi Phi. That would keep the cops busy for years. Might have to build some more prisons. Time that the Thai government do better background checks with the thousands of criminals arriving in Bangkok.

Pink?

[gerry123]

i think its all irrelevant how he got caught or who grassed him/her up the facts are he got caught red/white handed and being a foreigner he will definitely get his due for such a crime

[Lancashireman]

Pink underwear ? Seriously ? May be should stop taking drugs, dude ...

Cerise, surely!

[Lancashireman]

They could have let him finish putting his shirt on before the photo shoot...

Harsh police measures!

[Lancashireman]

At least 15 years in jail for the drug offence, for being French and wearing pink underwear could be a life sentence.

Edible, cerise, strawberry flavoured...sponsored by Adidas too!!! They'll be chuffed...

If you have not noticed the majority of foreigners here look like they got their wardrobe out of the trash both men and women. Nothing more sexy than a huge beer gut hanging out and dirty shorts . The women well i will save that for another time. Real high class. This guy is just another fine example of a typical foreigner.

Jungle Jim: I assume that you are one of the very few non-typical foreigners?

Seems to have made 2 of the coppers happy though

Mr Jeremy ran upstairs to his bedroom and attempted to hide the small generator in his closet

OK. I give up. What was the "small generator" for? ... and why was he hiding it?

Yes, that was the first question that came to my mind. What's with the generator. Not as if he had grass growing hydroponically next to his other pair of pink undies.

[Pundi6446]

Another scum bag bites the dust, see that he is shipped home, and blacklisted in the future

[mikiea]

pink pants ,pink shirts , pink panties ... what is it with pink & the french man ? i understand he is a scumb bag doper,thats his "thing" but the panties ? :-)

[thurien]

<we can only arrest one Nigerian man Oshi-Oma Declan, 30, and his wife Songsee Khamsee, 31, for the 20 grams of cocaine. They are also dealers, but we are still looking for another Nigerian man who personally dealt with Mr Jeremy>

oh, those <removed>...when coming to Thailand they make immigration believe they are just sports students -- their playground being Lower Suk and similarly well-visited venues

[coffeeman]

idiot! wouldnt it be funny, if cops started doing selfies! and holding up signs like "LOOK WE CAUGHT ANOTHER IDIOT WHO JUST through his life away for A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS" cheese!

this idiot thought he was cool in france, probably did some drugs back in France, thought he was cool, came to thailand and thought he was still cool..

now I bet he is crying in his cell, calling his parents, and wishing he was back in france now ! LOL

[carabaothai]

Maybe it is a french passport but it is not a french name. Maybe the police has to verify the passport.

This name is from east Europe or Russia

[tomyumchai]

and more quality nigerians, and now along comes someone to apologise for them...........

[mesquite]

I see some people have taken this as an opportunity to make fun of the French.

Please, no more French jokes...which reminds me.

26 years old and life is ruined

PS. Nice neighbours

Maybe they had been making a lot of noise with loud music and thats why the cops were called, would make scene

Yea i don,t dress like a total pig. saw one guy walking the other morning in his underwear down main street. But yea many look like they spend their time dumpster diving. Is it that hard to not look like you crawled out of the sewer or hooker bar ?

To stop the police charging him.

[OPG]

313 grams isn't a small amount. Long time in jail for a crappy 20k.

Life imprisonment for that amount unless they strike a deal for the Nigerian's. And yes, all for 20K!

Pink underwear ? Seriously ? May be should stop taking drugs, dude ...

Ah Oui! The French are always the leaders in fashion. Not sure this will catch on though, but I like the look.

I think I saw it used in Bevis and Butthead....am I alone in this?

[Whidbeyboy]

Maybe difficult to understand, but I think drug dependence is an illness to be treated, and not a crime to be punished?

I think it's mostly a choice.

Don't know much about drug dependence I see. Telling a heroin addict to just say no is like telling a manic depressant to just cheer up.

[Jungle Jim]

No the goofy Swedes have got them beat. Sideways over sized baseball cap, pants hanging down, shoes with the laces untied . The women Tutu's with their over weight guts and boobs hanging out. Great look. Beats the French hands down.

Should be a TV award for the best caption on that pic.

[Jungle Jim]

The look on that one cops face is priceless standing next to Butthead. Maybe he was wearing pink for the day of the week in Thailand. Yellow is Monday. What day is pink ?

Hey Title should read Fried Frenchmen caught with drugs soon to be french fried by Thai justice. S have Known Beware of Nigerians asking you to hold something for them. Because if it wasn't a problem in the first place they would do it themselves for free. What a Butt head Rot in Prison. Hope you like tube steak because I have a feeling with those pink underwear you will be getting a lot in Remand.

The most part of drug addicts became addicts willingly and by choice. 'Peer Pressure', 'Look how cool I am , I do drugs', 'I'll try it just once...' these are all choices made. Once they realize they are addicts and do not seek help, well that's another choice. However, I see you apparently know all about choices.
