Mr Creosote Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Wow, that is a huge bust. Clearly, they are sending the stuff through the smaller airports in the hopes that sleepy locals at Immigration dont bother checking. Or perhaps it got picked up first at the international airport then tracked to Krabi for the bust. Hope they get the Big Boss here but its very likely that he is protected.

SOTIRIOS Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 ...again....how can you attach any credibility to the account of a criminal..... ...all too cliche all the time.... ...and so often.....'first time'.......more likely first time caught.....and they could easily check from the passports and booking records etc.... ....and bank accounts and assets..... ....the criminals are poor innocent victims......except if they are foreigners...

Quite right and I can't understand why the Thai government doesn't spread awareness to these Thai ladies getting involved with Africans men especially from Nigeria and Ghana, where several such cases happened with Thai ladies ending in jails in foreign countries because of these criminals Africans parasites who are too many in Thailand conning and in drug business. I wish the Thai government stopped issuing entry to these parasites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhream Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The takeaway here is. Manila is a better place to score a gram. Likely it arrived by boat on one of the countless islands, then from there... These clowns got involved. The barons rely on weight of numbers to win the war on drugs, for every big bust, others get through, every single day. Bank on it. They do. Also, the breathless and oft inflated Street value is not the loss the Baron wears, he gets it for relatively little buying in bulk, marks it up, and sells it to a middleman, and so on... Further down the chain, the less profit can be extracted, and the higher the risk. A business for losers to be sure, which is why your African dregs are so well represented.

My guess is the wheels are much better greased in Manila maybe? This still a big bust even at half the price. I reckon we can count on it being significant to someone. Just a guess though.
