webfact Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Myanmar man arrested for allegedly selling 'ice' on Samui By The Nation Picture: Nation TV A Myanmar man was arrested late Sunday night while allegedly delivering crystal meth to his compatriots on Koh Samui in Surat Thani, where he has been illegally living for the last 10 years. Thammanoon Sukcharoen, assistant Koh Samui district chief, said Chaw, 35, was arrested while driving to allegedly deliver the drug to his buyers, believed to be Myanmar nationals working in the popular tourist destination. District officials and Army troops, who jointly made the arrest, found 50 grammes of crystal meth or “ice” in 24 tiny plastic bags in the car. The officials then searched a house in Tambon Maret where he lives with his Thai wife and found several car registration books. Chaw said he got the drug from a Myanmar man who delivered it to him on the island. He added that he lent the drug money to Myanmar workers on the island and they left the car registration books with him as collateral. Thammanoon said Chaw has been living with his Thai wife on the island for ten years without a passport or other type of travel document and has become an influential figure among Myanmar migrants on the island.

Brigand Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Eventually, most get caught out. Might ride it for a long time but random chance, sometimes over carelessness or just a small thing, will get you picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
