Eakkapop Thongtub

PHUKET: A husband and wife drug dealing team were arrested on Friday evening (November 14) as part of a bigger investigation into the Phuket drug underworld by local police.

Mr Korlet(Nor) Decha-aran, 41, and Mrs Phimonwan Decha-aran (Korlet's wife) were nabbed at their home on Thepkassatri Rd in Rassada district at about 7pm.

Police found over 36 grams of Ya Ice (crystal meth), 148 Ya Ba pills (meth tablets), a difital scale, a customer list, a mobile phone, a blue Ford truck, and other drug paraphernalia.

The couple told police that they recently bought the drugs – about B2,800 per gram of Ya Ice, and B140 per Ya Ba pill – from another drug dealer, Pongsakor Tingyob.

Police used the information and set up a meet with Pongsakor at Soi Tawanchai Village in Koh Siray where they arrested him about two hours later at 9pm on Friday (November 14)

Another good job by the RTP getting this crap off the streets.

Now to keep after the farang riff-raff that uses these drugs.

Not sure what is the deal about the blue ford truck? maybe it runs on chrystal meth or something?

Rather than zeroing in those despicable foreign drug abusers, perhaps they should seriously pursue the traffickers that are moving wholesale quantities into Thailand in the first place? Thai youth seem to make up a bigger and somewhat more important demo-graph than Bobby from Brixton who likes his speed and hookers. Just a thought

Both dealers are small fry. The ones they should go after, they won't.

Ur possibly confusing 'Bobby from Brixton who likes his speed and hookers' with 'Sharky' Ward of Pattaya fame. Just a thought....

[iReason]

Distributers?

Go after the suppliers.

Alas, it will never happen.

Too "influential"...

[enufsaid]

Well we know the drugs are theirs for sure, they're pointing at the drugs so must be theirs. Bit concerned there's no police there pointing at the criminals, I mean how will we know for sure if the police aren't there pointing

Any drug related arrest is a good thing.

Amd yes - of course these two are small fry - arrests of big guys happen very rarely - anywhere.

Drugs unfortunately are available everywhere - be it Phuket or Brighton.

"Sharky" is a degenerate but I doubt he would smoke ice or ATS derivatives as he is a HGH muscle freak - why destroy his bread and butter with ATS's? Please excuse my Bobby from Brixton, maybe it hit close to home? How is anyone from anywhere? My point was anyway is that even though drug abuse and addiction is bad, the trouble makers are hardly foreigners who visit or live in Thailand.

Also since the manufacturers are for the most part based in BURMA/MYANMAR, it would be better to go after the DISTRIBUTORS, which is not the Sha people or Narco-Armies but high ranking officials with in Thailand. Many of them holding army and or (is there a difference) political positions. Considering the untouchability of some of these individuals, a Thai invasion of Shan state would be more likely (read : never going to happy) than the pursuit of the real high ups in the Thai side of the trafficking network.

It is good to get street level dealers and whatnot but is still nothing. This is a frustrating topic, especially considering the human rights abuses committed circa 2004 in trying to fight this problem, rather than ACTUALLY trying to fix the real issues. Sadly I think this problem is one of the things that will not be solved anytime soon.

It looks like an advert for the latest Herbalife, Amway, dodgy MLM marketing scheme......

'For only 500 000B you get your very own drug dealer starter kit, scales, baggies and lots of stock...PLUS sign up 6 more dealers in your first month and get a new blue Ford Pick up !!!'

[Bignose]

Yes indeed they are "small fry" and at the bottom end of the drug food chain, but does that make this arrest any less significant?

No it does not, every single arrest is important and welcome! Where there is poverty there will always be an illicit drug market and problem, it has been this way since drugs were discovered and will never change.

The only real option (in every country) for authorities is to cut off supply, in a perfect world this would include the affluent and connected king pins, the top cats, the main players or whatever you want to call them!!!

We all know this will not happen very often, but until it does we should welcome every single arrest no matter how lowly the person is in the organisation.

If it means there are a few less pills or grams of ice on the market so be it, to me that is worth the effort and should be celebrated...
