Cadbury Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 More than likely he was just the police courier for the police drug lords higher up. Inter departmental transfer. Must have been a communication breakdown at the check point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorchiangmai Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 After his arrest, it is reported that Surachit was temporarily suspended from duty and a disciplinary committee has been set up to deal with the matter ? Temporarily suspended ? More committees? Just fire him and put him in jail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartiniMan Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Tip of an iceberg. This runs deep. We need a independent watch dog as this is big money and they are using their roles as policy officers to cover for what is actually just pure drug business and who is footing the bill? The tax payer!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is much bigger than one man this involves a whole crew and the profits are to much for one man to spend / hide on his own this is a big operation possibly 20 or more involved as it involves import and distribution They have a whole line set up he was doing delivery I expect to the northern contact who would then distribute to his dealers who all have been given immunity just unlucky for him he got caught in transit This is a big operation no mom and pop deal - this could involve many counties and been running for decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 198,000. Hmmm. Seems like and odd number and one would expect packaging to be more precise, say 200,000. Maybe he was skimming from the top about 2,000 pills for his own extra profit. Would love to know the details of who he was working with or being a courier for. cop to cop involvement?

Tayaout Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 One of the most suspicious drug bag ever. I would suspect this bag to contains at least some explosive. He probably never expected to be searched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmreborn Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 All that for 100k. The cops must really be under paid cause I mean that's like 6 months wages/salary for pills that are worth at least 200 baht each to locals or 500 to tourists. Not the worth the risk.
