I thought law enforcement would have things the other way? But then, we have no enforcers, only button pushers at traffic junctions.

Ok, so work a sting operation. Get with g/f, make nice, then invite her to have party with friends. Everyone comes, go outside, give a signal, cops go in and bust everyone.

Oh, wait, sorry, that would be too simple.

Just another normal day in the Kingdom!!

I wonder how many farang are right now thinking, 'You know, that may not be such a bad idea', since jail may be preferable to dealing with their Thai girlfriend.

Imagine what could have happened if she had some form of decent education and could figure out a more logical solution....

"Police are trying to locate and arrest the girlfriend who allegedly forced her into taking the drugs, he said."

drugs talking

If she really wanted to get away she had the opportunity to do so when deciding to visit the police station, if so desperate. Sounds to me more like a co-dependent relationship, wherein one blames or accuses the other, yet remains with them.

[stephenterry]

Life is not always simple - if it ever was. Her circumstances and financial situation could preclude more appropriate alternative solutions. At least she's made the first step, and I hope it works out for her.

good thing there are NO drugs available in jail!...
