Is it too bad in Thailand that people need drugs?
Poor girl. I knew her in about 2014, when we first meet at Samui. She was so nice, we study in Thai school. She was very kind and so naive. Never think that she can get into that kind of trouble. Please, let her go back home, let her be in Russian prison insted Thai prison.
It’s horrendous and am devastated for them. I’ve known Enrico for a very long time and I just hope they both get back to their own countries. My heart is with them and their families
The unlucky two, the police needed to show that they do something “good” instead of just ask for corruption like they always did. Thai police is the worst.
No.
Foreigners that feel entitled are the worst.
Thai police just clean up the human garbage.
Plenty of that gets washed into Party Island.
If you deal drugs, keep a low profile and try being humble.
Being loud mouthed about it will only get you this far.
Damn, poor people. Dont think they immigrated with drugs so it seems like they had connections on phangan. Maybe they got tricked by them and the Thai Police just found a easy was to earn some extra Money. Does anybody know whats the penalty?
They sell drugs at Guys Bar over the counter. I guess they were not paying protection money and other drug dealers set them up. If you are in business of any kind in Thailand, you need to be sure you have local cooperation.
You saw what these two sold or are you talking about the bar in general?
I’m writing through an translator, sorry.

Wake up on jail…. bastard any ways, never like him…
