Popular Post rooster59 Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 Home delivery! Drug dealer tells cops how he ordered an M-16 war weapon online for just 26,000 baht Caption: It's easy to buy a gun Image: Sanook Thai media reported how very easy it is to get dangerous war weapons online in Thailand. Sanook were reporting on the arrest of two young men in Chaiyaphum in the north east of the country. They went to a house in a rubber plantation in the Ban Pao area of Kasetsomboon district. Chaianan, 23, and Thaksin, 21, were taken into custody on weapons and drug dealing charges. Locals had told the police about threatening behavior in the area. The police found a stash of weaponry including an M-16 5.56mm automatic "war weapon" rifle and 103 bullets. There were also adapted "blank guns" capable of firing .38 bullets. Plus 81 Ya Ba pills. Police said that Chaianan was a very dangerous person. He had bought the M-16 for just 26,000 baht through a friend on the Line application. A delivery service delivered it directly to his house. He then practiced shooting it in the locality scaring the locals who reported him. Chaianan said that he had the weapon for his own protection in the drug dealing business.

legend49 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 If you believe that price for genuine M16 then you must believe in fairies my 9mm Glock was more expensive and it was bought through a Thai family after I was given the catalogue and price lists.

You do realize that the law was changed in 2017 and that foreigners cannot legally own guns in Thailand now? Or is it registered to your wife? I have Thai friends who shoot, some very wealthy. They rent the guns and won't buy because they say the prices here are stupidly high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who owns a gun is asking for trouble! I hope that someone will be knocking on your door very soon, as Foreigners can no longer own guns of any description! If you want my advice go and hand it over to the police immediately. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of small issues, you do realise the "Police" are the biggest criminal organisation in the country. What about all the crimes that are stopped in the early stages as "citizens" are carrying guns? you have probably not read about the multiple times this happens as off course it is not PC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not now that China has pulled out of online selling, although Lazada was always a bit uptight. Before the virus Shoppee, AliExpress and Facebook marketplace sold all sorts of naughty stuff.

It wasn't "ordered online" like on lazada or something on the dark web, it was ordered using a phone app. The headline seems like clickbait. True though, you can still find "amazing" things on shopee and ali in some places. Edited February 15, 2020 by Jare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a weapon is HOT, catalogue pricing doesn't necessarily enter into the equation. That 26,000 baht buys a lot of yaba for the weapon seller.

Glock sidearms new are anything up to 150k due to taxation, knock 50% off if purchased by police or military...The M16 this guy bought was on the black market so price is believable.

Wow, lots of tax and middleman markups. In the US, I can get a new Glock 19 or an AR-15 type rifle (semi-auto M-16 clone) for 15,500 Baht. A Glock 17 is about 17,000. A law enforcement trade-in is about 12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
