I view of recent events in Pattaya, I found this article of interest in a Thailand Magazine out now.


From the тАШBig ChilliтАЩ Bangkok Magazine. May 2008.

Drugs sting

YEARS ago, a succession of tourists were arrested as they were about to leave Thailand at Don Munag airport with illegal drugs in their possession. The ability to spot these felons was simply stunning тАУ unless, of course, they had been тАШset upтАЩ with the specific aim of catching them in the act. No such cases have been reported recently at ThailandтАЩs airports, but that canny knack of catching drug dealers and carriers continues elsewhere. And it seems somewhat implausible for the driver of a car to be pulled up randomly and found in possession of illegal substances. Unless, of course, he or she had been set up. Of course, the only way to avoid such a situation is to obey the law and donтАЩt get involved in drugs!



Any comments should not have any names or cases mentioned please.
