Police don't do drug stings here. They just wait for some dried up drug addict breaking into houses to grass everyone he knows.

Thai police are so useless they're supported from drug dealers who wear T-shirts announcing what they do.

If the dealers had any sense at all they'd wear a dress shirt and the idiot Thai cops would be completely stumped. In this sense, then, drug dealers in The Land Of Intellect provide a valuable public service by voluntarily providing distractions from Thai police trying to scam the rest of us too much.
