I have a cunning plan!

[Moonmoon]

Base on recent calculations of the case of an animal activist getting 15 years for 5mg of cocaine. 2.4grams of meth should get him 7500years in prison. Goodluck.

Unbelievably stupid .He hands his passport to immigration with Ice inside it, between the pages.

At two and a half years for possession with intent to sell, as over .375g, plus a year per gram, he will have plenty of time to reflect on what a dumb retard he is.

Seeing that he owns an apparently somehow successful chain of Japanese restaurants, he more than likely has enough cash to not spend too much time contemplating his actions. All the 20 minutes it takes from the interrogation room to the ATM and back.

A very educated young man not brains up his rear

"Seeing that he owns an apparently somehow successful chain of Japanese restaurants,.............."

Here I was thinking he was merely a manager of a Japanese restaurant.:

6 restaurants so which restaurant then? The champion Japanese in ekkamai shopping centre ground floor. I miss that joint.

Then we should give him an F for effort...

While if you kill three people while driving drunk, you get two years: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/drunk-driver-killed-three-cyclists-given-two-years-imprisonment/  

 

Assuming you go to trial:  https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/977190-red-bull-heir-boss-tight-lipped-in-london-about-return-to-thailand/

 

I wonder how many people 5mg of cocaine would kill?  Would it be enough to kill a mouse?

With prolonged use, that drug makes ordinarily clever people extremely forgetful. Hope he gets help for his drug problem.

He "manages" a Japanese restaurant. That's not the same as he "owns" a chain of them... Go back and read the article again. 

 

He's not going to walk away from this so easily or quickly.

Silly bunt!

Owns? Care to read it again?

Neither Thailand nor any country in the World is going to stop drug use- so they should legalize it and control its sale and use. Why put someone in prison for using a substance that does only harm to oneself. the money that could be saved getting rid of the whole apparatus of drug enforcement could better be used to educate the public why using drugs is harmful or opening centers for addiction.

Was that all over his passport as well...

Easy mistake to make, it could have happened to any one of us.

The article says he manages one of the outlets, hardly puts him in the elite brigade.
