Follow the money. These are just the pawns. Never seen them catch anybody big?

1.2 grammes of marijuana!!!!!!!!

Move over Pablo Escobar.

Wow! Slow news day in Phuket apparently.

That poor wee Scotsman is gonna pay for smoking that tiny amount of weed.

Shame considering the others are all holding more serious drugs.

Very bad luck for the wee scot, lumped in with meth dealer when holding not nearly enough dope to roll a decent spliff...

He hasn't learnt the Thai art of pointing very well!

Did any one notice that at least 2 of the Thais, which have been caught for class 1 drug, are not handcuffed while the Scot of course is.

Good looking bunch.

Edit....4 Thais and a Scot...

Whilst I an aware this publication is aimed at non Thais, but please.

1.2 Grammes.

He hasn't learnt the Thai art of pointing very well!

Give Jock a break, it's his first time.

He gets the headline yet was in possession of only a wisp of marijuana!

Why?

So, what happens if you refuse to point?

So, what happens if you refuse to point?

Ve have Vays and Means ........of making you point...................

-------------------------

I am sure while he is in jail he cam earn some Merritt teaching the inmates how to speak a new language:Scottish.

It's a mixture of English and alcohol.

You just have a few drinks and end each sentence with bastard.

Just dump idiots, let them pay the price.

Respect the law.

There but for the grace of god.................

They should amend the laws here, foreigners caught indulging in any form of drugs here gets 5 times the normal penalty.......that will 'weed" off the trash coming to thailand to do drugs .

Maybe they only had a couple or three sets of handcuffs?

He gets the headline yet was in possession of only a wisp of marijuana!

Why?

Because he's the farang and as we all know, they stick it to the farang every chance they get. It's so bad that they even call us the farang.

But seriously....

Giving the benefit of darwnism.

Scott got handed it by a wee man with dreadlocks down to his sporan accompanied by a woman with a face so hard you could break a brick on and told have a good holiday.

Guess who those 2 are in reality?

Wow, look at the mind boggling amount of drugs spread out across the table! This is a mayor accomplishment by the Phuket most illustrious anti drug squad. What a Bust! It must have taken them months of deep undercover work to unearth this enormous cesspool of drug filth. Just look at their appearance in the background, can't tell the drug-busters from the drug-addicts if it where not for the pointy fingers. Very good undercover appearance.

Give Jock a break, it's his first time.

First time he got caught you will mean.

Druggie scumbags wrecking lives of young

People. Off to jail, minimum 10 years each,

Throw the scumbag Scott out of the country

After jail time.

He hasn't learnt the Thai art of pointing very well!

Looks like he's trying to take it back.

I expect all of them are pointing at the missing pills and 1.3 kilos of crystal meth! Already sold the rest?

It seems a bit rough that they would put a farang in cuffs for possessing 1.2 g of grass. In Holland ,if the Scotsman dropped a bag of dope on the street the cops will pick it up and return it to him. Have a nice day!

Why is he cuffed like a criminal but most of the others arent?.............farang mai di !

Theyre not exactly the brightest looking bunch of humans are they?

I wonder if its the Scots first day here? Maybe he will rule the day or just get lucky and be packed off back home. Hardly the bust of the century but that Yaa Baa poison is the ruin of many.

I'm confused. The guys standing look like drugs dealers Aye, laddie, no smoke the ganja here

That poor wee Scotsman is gonna pay for smoking that tiny amount of weed.

Shame considering the others are all holding more serious drugs.

He will be getting his portage regular now. Bloody idiot.

Actually, the head monk at the drug treatment center said ganja addiction is the hardest to treat.
