Pathetic - armed officers all because of a guy with a bong and lots of tattoos a a collection of knoves.

[mrtoad]

I guess he isn't someone that blends in

[Metapod]

I actually met this guy a couple years back. He was a pretty laid back and friendly guy. Wasn't exactly what you would expect from a guy covered in face tats.

[Soutpeel]

Ah a quality student on an Ed visa, wonder if he is a digital pikey as well ? Wonder which school in Pattaya ? Guess his attendance register was up to date

Quite possible, he's on an Ed visa

[Nuddy]

I am an advocate the "the weed" should be licensed but putting that aside.

The guy had only a small supply, was using it himself and the armed police took him down.

Sure this is not the forum but look around your area where you live. Any of those stalls on the sidewalk are all paying an undercover fee.

The council does not authorise business on the sidewalk therefore some grafting prick is getting the fee

These are the guys police etc should be targeting.

Nearby me is a 7-11 one has to struggle through all these merchants to get there...I reckon its as hopeless as taking down some cool farang doing a bit of weed

Nice to see the army sticking their oar in again. What a bunch of tossers.

Seems a bit daft being a dealer in Thailand how the laws are here whilst being a foreigner and walking tattoo advertisement.

That he claims he wasn't dealing is neither here nor there, the Thais will think whatever they want to think.

[Deaw]

Once again someone getting busted for the ludicrous crime of smoking a plant. You can go out and drink tequila or vodka and grope bar girls all night, but sit around your own flat and smoke a few bong hits and watch a movie? Oh, the humanity!

Let's see here - you advocate ... check .... and you want a straighter line straight to the 7/11 - so you can get/stagger there faster...... yep .... sounds about right .....

[Lammbock]

When this guy opens his mouth all that is come out are lies! lies! lies!

[thrilled]

Being many US states are going the legal route,I imagine in A few years Thailand will possibly do the same.If nothing else medical

Marijuana.It has now been proven some of the chemicals in the product now control seisures in epilepsy patients.

Been smoking?

he registered for course at Pattaya Language and Computer School.

The only source of income is from Dutch government that sends him 700 Euro per month.

I assume that he's not the only guy in Isaan not having many choices how to keep staying with your family and friends.

Life can become pretty difficult for all of us.

Why would you Tattoo your face like that? I know the answer, Dr. Warson. He studies Thai for 20 years. Holy buffalo dung. That does it. -

In addition to getting caught with weed, is also appears he was in the wrong place when some paint factory exploded all over him.

I know this will offend some potheads out there, but drugs are illegal in LOS. And yeah, I know the rumors about the Army, BiB, etc. may be in on the drug trade. But if you can't handle any of that, then don't come here. And if you choose to take the chance anyway, you know what the potential consequences are.

He lives in Thailand for 20 years. I think he did not change his live style during this time.

[alfalfa19]

wow, fantastically big news

[patongphil]

Seems to be missing his left hand - maybe I too would turn to drugs if something like that happened to me.

[zaphod reborn]

I hope he sues khaosad and nation multimedia for defamation. They printed a factual statement that he was dealing drugs. No such charge was made against him and the statement is not attributed to any source.

[jaapfries]

Unless he walked into a really dark & scary forest . . . . . you'd never see him . . . . . . . .until he smiled, of course ! ! ! ! !
