He looks like he has some serious miles on the clock for 46. And he is going to have some seriously harrowing years ahead of him now.

I think the scandinavians have a transfer agreement that allows them to do 10 years here then the remainder at home. I hope in his case thats true. 10 years here inside would equate to a lifetime elsewhere

[banglassie]

One day this will turn into another episode of Banged up abroad...

[hansgruber]

Looking at the pic in the latest article you can see the red double uriglobe branding on the blocks. Thats some high quality golden triangle heroin.

Just goes to he knew someone high up to be able to get the blocks uncut in original packaging.

The UK has such an deal, none of the UK prisoners apply for it.

They get pardoned by the King after 8-12 years here.

If they go back to the UK they need to serve the sentence that they were given in Thailand - 99 years for many.

It is not the same with most countries, where upon repatriation the sentence is reviewed and they are resentenced in guideline with the home nation.

I would not want to be this lad. A hell not worth imagining awaits.

so in this current climate of hightened security at airports this idiot didn't consider there was a very high chance of being searched and caught, he's lucky this wasn't Indonesia - he'd be heading for death row for sure

I wonder how many times he has done this before

possibly just a mule being paid a fixed amount to transport, if so there will likely be someone else on the same flight involved

Ah well, this is what smack does to you.

I doubt it was his first run.

Makes you wonder how many times he has got away with it.

This is a picture from an article in a Danish newspaper 7 years ago about him and another former drug addict fighting their addictions with winter baths. The article doesn't say, but I guess he is the one on the left:

Obviously, he went back to using again explaining the drastic change in his appearance over only 7 years. A good advertisement to stay away from drugs.

Midnight Express..

Send him the video as x-mas present

He might have missed it.

[Lampang2]

1.6kg must cost something.

I wonder who had the cash.

Well, it's gone now anyway.

[siamcrut]

He looks more like 64

7 years ago ... WOW looks like he has aged at least 14 years and more.

What an idiot.

[heybuz]

i beg your pardon i'm past 64 and he looks older than me

[Singerman]

He has now discovered that messing with "hard drugs" in SE Asia is a very bad idea !

Perhaps he will survive his time in the "Hilton" and emerge as reformed, wiser person.
