If you read the OP carefully, the suspect described as African did not have a passport. That would make it rather difficult to officially determine his nationality.

berybert Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The sad thing here is the Thai authorities having to announce they have caught these people. Why let the Chinese gangs know they have been caught when you could have played the game and caught many more and also let those in Australia and New Zealand also catch their filth.

Thai police thinking ahead I think your been watching too many movies. The Chinese would have got the suppliers. Thats how they knew about the shipment. If the Thais had let it go and it was lost then people would have been screaming..stupid police. Lets face it most drug busts only catch the a few small fry because these crims operate so its difficult to break whole chain.

SOTIRIOS Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 ...sounds pretty dumb in this day and age...especially when there are truckloads coming in from every direction...several times a day... ...and somehow over 50% of the time the people involved 'escape'.... ...hmmm..... ...what are the chances that the foreigners were 'set up' once again....???

I too was confused with the Muhammed one - first I thought it could be a Muslim Thai because the last name sort of sounds Thai the "yong" at the end being the key. In reality we now have confirmation this is actually a Nigerian name. Edited July 20, 2016 by Tomtomtom69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinisaan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Arrested were Julawan Saenwiang, 35 Muhammad Fahmantayong, 22, and an African man named only as Phillip who was rounded up at an apartment in the Wattana area of Sukhumvit Road. I bet there are thousands of Africans and Arabs near Sukhumvit without a valid visa, but a nice place to stay, gold around the neck and the cops prefer to catch a foreign criminal, who's having a cigarette, while many drug deals were made under the eyes( maybe closed) of the cops. Child porn CD's, Fake Valium, Viagra and a lot of Mother's bigger Helpers, black and pink, soft and hard, short and long are presented in the evening that everybody can see it. Wanna buy some Coke, maan? "No, I drink Fanta, dude." The Land of Smile's as it always was. But less people smile.Does the good general not know that?

marcofunny Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) if I was a president of any country I would simply ban the entry of all Nigerian nationals, plain and simple !!, any criminal caught will be sent to a North Korean style detention center, worse then the Soviet Gulag and I will put videos on national TV and internet, here is the treatment reserved for anyone coming from Africa and dealing with drugs.

Really? Where did you get those stats from? What are the chances that 2 Nigerians were set up once again (when was the last time?) on drug charges? Let's think... zero sounds about right.
