Yet another rediculous photograph. Hard to tell who are the crooks and who are the policemen .... oh wait, ....... <self removed>

here we are again Phuket update 4 Burmese and 1 thai man caught in possession of category 5 drugs yes they do appear to be very busy in Phuket these days continually in the news more than any other part of Thailand I wonder why that is.

lucky they didnt get away in their private jet

glad to see such master criminals being subjected to the full force of the law

It looks as if most of those photographed had a sample of the wares.

O thank god you got the bad guys and that you got that scary marijuana and kratom off the street!

Pure nonsense, when will people demand an end to the war on drugs.

Seems to be a magic leaf flying away on the left, I would be very worried about ghosts if I were there and had an IQ lower than the leaf flying away.
