Swampy Bust: Importing Crystal Meth From The PI To The LOS

[pdogg]

4 kilos of Ice were uncovered.

Ms Nareerat claimed that she borrowed the luggage from a hotel in the Philippines as her bag was broken and that she did not know that the drugs were hidden inside.

Thailand is akin to a closed shop or union controlled sector - you got to be in the union to play. People outside the agreed closed shop normally are the one's who get busted LOL.

From my experience following Thai news reports it's quite rare for a Thai to be doing this, as they usually just manufacture it in-country. It seems like most of the people getting caught up in these busts are from Iran. Seems like they have a good process there for making the 'ice' and lots of guys are willing to risk the 20+ years in a Thai [or Iranian] prison for the huge payday, which could probably set them up for life; if not caught.

Don't these people ever watch Breaking Bad?

I read at least 2 times a week about crime news in Pattaya and Thailand. Are drugs more prevelant there, or are the Thai police more on show not substance?
