They ere caught with 3,800 pills and two vehicles used in their business were taken into evidence.

 

The arrests were made by Udon police in conjunction with drugs suppression officers.

According to reports they were willing to act as go betweens for people wanting to pawn items to buy drugs for sale. Police said it was possible to pawn a motorbike with the Laotian man for 200 Ya Ba tablets.

 

A car could yield 2000 tablets in a pawning arrangement and a four door pick-up was worth 2,500 pills.

Extra income for their families... and extra kicks for other families. Morality stops at the threshold!

Rather than serving an obvious need since there are clearly willing buyers?

Seems like ya ba pills are a new form of Thai currency.

Are you joking ( not real criminal ) then what are they .

A drug dealer is a drug dealer and they are real criminals who should go to jail for a long time .

Hows the new side business working out for you girls?

[worgeordie]

Why call them maids ?, I think they will have stopped scrubbing floors,

with the amount of pills they seemed to be shifting,3,800 pills is not

a part time job to make a few extra THB, call them what they are major

drug dealers,  it's along the lines of Al Capone saying he was a second

hand furniture dealer.

No, I think according to the law they are real criminals.

 

The fact they were happy to help people pawn all they owned of value in order to buy their drugs, also drops them into the category of scum.

 

Mind that's according to me, not the law.

Supply and demand: as long as nothing is done on prevention, teaching,etc... the drug market will exist, whatever the drug.

If you want to justify drug dealing in economic terms, it would be well to understand the difference between "want" and "need".

[zaphod reborn]

Obviously the Udon police didn't like a Lao agent cutting into their business.

"They cited the tough economic times but now their families will have to do without them for a few years."

 

A few years? I remember one case of a Young Brit who was caught selling and with 200 pills and he got 50 years. Go Figure?
