rooster59 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ex Chiang Mai mayor's son arrested in connection with "Hi So" cocaine ring Image: Daily News The son of a former Chiang Mai mayor and top local businessman has been arrested and implicated in a "Hi So" cocaine supply ring in the northern city. Chiang Mai drugs suppression police raided four properties in the downtown area and San Sai and Doi Saket districts yesterday. One of the properties belonged to Rachin Tantranon, 38, a member of the local administration who is the son of ex mayor of Chiang Mai and high profile businessman Worakorn Tantranon. Police found a cache of guns and bullets some of which was not correctly licensed. Rachin was detained on charges related to having unregistered ammunition. His computer and phone records were seized. The moves by 50 officers yesterday followed the arrest on Friday of one man found with seven sachets of cocaine weighing 3.15 grams in a top-end car and two others with 20 grams of the Class One narcotic. Phone messages on the Line app indicated others who are involved, said Daily News. The arrests are part of an operation to bust a cocaine distribution network that was delivering the drug to high society customers at upscale entertainment venues in Chiang Mai. Investigations are ongoing. Source: Daily News -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-08-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Some hi-so's must be really sweating at the arrest of their supplier! Perhaps he will make it off with a fine?.... hope the fellow does not end up hanging on his necktie in jail, as it seems quite trendy with embarassing detainees!!

cmsally Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think you will find that it is about 25-30 years since a Tantranon was mayor of Chiang Mai, so please keep on topic. Just like everywhere, Chiang Mai has it's honest and not so honest local politicians, no different to anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
