Asiantravel Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 like others have already said it was his decision and one would expect a 53-year-old to have just a little bit more wisdom than that about being involved with these things especially in this part of the world. Off topic but I have to say I was astonished to see a documentary on Al Jazeera recently which attributed a rising epidemic of heroin usage amongst what used to be relatively affluent middle-class Americans(definitely not what anyone would imagine as your average drug addict )who began with an addiction to pharmaceutical pain relief drugs that gradually became too expensive ($80 per pill ) and where heroin inadvertently was cheaper for them to use. http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/al-jazeera-america-presents/2015/9/ajam-presents-heroin-usa-part-one.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemapoot Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The opiate addiction problem in America truly is an epidemic. Many people you would never expect have thrown their lives away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty1412 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey Bud.... why hang your head in shame.... Im sure if you had got away with it and the proceeds of drug sales had accumulated to point where you bought a new car or Rolex or whatever your smiling face would have been all over it .... At 53 is this all life represents to you now.... peddling dangerous drugs to young folks..... I actually don't feel sorry for you.. I feel sorry for any family and respectable friends that you have that now are the ones who should hand their head in shame ..... You were willing to do the crime now be just as willing to do the time..... Ohh and no wailing and moaning that the Monkey house is far worse than you ever imagined..... Zero sympathy, Zero compassion, Zero tolerance.... 53 years old and peddling drugs on the street.....my lord I have seen it all....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozyjon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You might read the story and think, ''wow a lot of crime here'', no it's the same as everywhere else on the planet, the difference is that other countries don't publicise it, imagine if they did ? At least we see and know what goes on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Some farangs are just plain stupid.A 53 year old as well,obviously not learned much in those years. Did he really think he could sell a class 1 drug in such a small place as Pai, and escape the attention of the police? This will have serious consequences for him as it's class 1 and not a bit of class 5 weed he was selling. Puts these type of guys on par with a lot of Thai's. Stupid yes, very stupid.

Minnehaha Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thats not a lot of dope. Or a lot of money. Is it even enough dope to charge someone with "intent to sell" .... even if they admit it. And to think about the KILOS of dope that is moving from norther Thailand down and out of the country ... Time to read the Thomas Fuller article published recently in a paper that is one of the most respected institutions in the world of journalism, and which stopped printing in Thailand ...

justaphase Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 He's not going to die in jail. He'll get 6-8 years. Worst thing is he'll do the time in the local jail. 7,500 seems cheap for 1/2 ounce. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing is he'll do the time in the local jail. 7,500 seems cheap for 1/2 ounce. Idiot. In his physical condition 6-8 years in an overcrowded local jail is no joke. Being 53 years, out of shape and possibly a lifetime of using drugs doesn't exactly help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 the Canadian national was selling drugs to tourists in the area Oh dude...what was his marketing strategy? I mean, who would buy heroin from a pensioner looking guy hobbling along on crutches? "Pssst, man, heroin...Lady, like to try some heroin? Buy one get one free?"

TonyHanscomb Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 He is in bad shape. Good luck, mate. "GOOD LUCK". Are you kidding me? do you know how bad heroin is? he might need some luck (but I wont wish him luck) in a Thai jail as inmates wont like him.

Straight8 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Let him paddle heroin in Malaysia or Singapore... he'd be paying to ultimate penalty for his greed and stupidity.... Which in his case might have been a better outcome. The rest of your miserable life inside BKK Hilton??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverhigh Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 is stupidity a disease? i am sure he is feeling sick now......selling heroin ?no work permit i bet.. Work permits are only issued to high ranking officers after years of dedicated service to Thailand. I believe its included in the job descriptions of individuals reaching the rank of colonel or above. Then again I could be wrong I don't read Thai at a sufficient level.

2008bangkok Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Iv got nothing wrong with people who sell drugs after all its a buyers market and more people die from legalised drugs like alcohol and tobacco per year but to sell it in Thailand is absolute crazy, Thai people wouldn't bat and eyelid on reporting farang for dealing even if it was only to westerners. Couldn't think of anything worse than a Thai jail, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yann55 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The guy looks like a poor old bastard looking for a way to make a quick buck, but hey, who knows ? And there's a scale in crime : you start dealing heroin, and before you know it, you end up playing bridge in Pattaya, so let's thank the BIB for nipping that one in the bud.

tomwct Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Part of his punishment should be to get him addicted to Heroin and then see how well he gets off of it, while he does his time in prison. He looks allot older than 53! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
