It did not say Government Person. They were more referring to a Mafia type of person, I believe. Anyway, thanks for the back and forth. We agree to disagree. Cheers.

I fail to see your point though, whether it be mafia or government (which are one and the same BTW) that tossed this lady in the slammer, it's still wrong.

A whole .25 of a gram and it seems it was planted- the stupidity if anywhere' was upsetting 'influential' people. There was barely a trace of the drug and it got her 15 years. Would have been simple to dope test her at the time- non in her system would have been a significant factor in her defence. I am not condoning the use of coke but this case stinks to high heaven.

Her home was SEARCHED and no drugs found only evidence of her rescuing wildlife so they decided to prosecute her for that too! She got an extra 3 months.

Add to that the posters here who jump on the bandwagon all in the name of 'x'. Disgusting. the "people" on this forum dont live in the real world. most have never even seen cocaine much less tried it. they cant read between the lines of a so-called journalistic piece. I honestly think that some of these people just look at the screen all day waiting for a new topic to come up so they can be first to reply and then see there name on the screen and maybe get some likes. wow. this forum is for our amusement at how naive and just plain stupid some expats or tourists can be, with a little bit of good info thrown in.

There are so many red flags in this case, the gear she supposedly had was never actually presented to the court, and her case file had her sign a confession which she said she was forced to sign, and she was denied access to a lawyer at the point of arrest. Also anyone who knows anything about this drug would know that outside the source countries (south american nations) the likelihood of the end user getting the drug with a purity of above 40% is slim at best (because almost every level dealer cuts it with other substances to bulk it up). So on that basis alone the amount she will have had will have been literally 1 (yes one) grain of salt's worth. The influential figure story was completely overlooked in court, not even any investigation into that. This whole case stinks to high heaven. Adn what makes it even worse is that actual criminals who have killed or maimed innocent people either in their cars or through intentional acts have not only escaped jail for those crimes, but also certainly done so through acts of bribery / perverting the course of justice (themselves gross crimes in their own right). The random and inconsistent application of the law is a key calling card of a banana republic justice arm. It is sick, indefensible, and morally bankrupt as is. My heart bleeds for all involved in this case, these innocent kids and their father's lives have been destroyed, and for what?

keep it real Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 could have done the thai thing-- dropped dime and ratted someone out, follow the norms and skate off, free as a bird. Only thing that leaves me scratching my head is the amount, something a tad convoluted here, but not surprising for Thailand, nothing is EVER right, correct, factual, real, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. When it comes to thugs on video stomping a guy's head 25 times, I say drag him to the nearest tree. This lady theoretically had a minuscule amount of a white powdered drug, inside an M&M's bag (which is white inside). She was denied a lawyer, and given a STUPID sentence.

newatthis Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 251 milligrams. 1 gram = 48 grains of rice. 251 milligrams = 12 grains. So this is what they found in her purse. Better eyes than I have.

Moonmoon Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 0.25 grams is so little its probably like dust. If she was a user n destroying her own life then send her to rehab. But she had a family n was not hurting anyone. 0.25grams is not even worth anything at all to be a drug mule or risk anything for. I would think she was framed. I post a pic of bullet powder as posting drugs would not be appropriate to have an idea of how little 0.25grams is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew65 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I know how little an amount it is, and sometimes "the law is an ass" (as they say in the UK). BUT: ...3-20 years or a fine of 60,000 – 400,000 Baht if the amount is under 100 grams ... A clear case of TIT What we think of it doesn't make a scrap of difference, sadly.
