Pattaya, the 23rd of July 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 5:00am on Friday, Colonel Natthawut Suwanla-ong (Pattaya Police Superintendent) led an operational team in multiple raids in the Pattaya area. The operation was organised to further suppress drug, weapons and illegal activities in the region ahead of the upcoming Buddhist long weekend.

A team of over 50 officers raided seven separate locations in Pattaya, arresting 30 offenders of both Thai and foreign nationalities. Items confiscated in the raids included, 20g of Ya-Ice (crystal methamphetamine), 20g of Cocaine, 100 pills of Ya-Ba, an unknown quantity of marijuana, drug-using paraphernalia, a broken revolver and various illegal sex toys.
The foreigners arrested in the raids included, David Neil Hill [31] an Australian, Patrick Jose [52] a Frenchman and Mr. Gavin Laidlaw [42] a Scotsman (names unconfirmed). The trio were arrested in possession of an unknown quantity of Ya-Ba and Cocaine whilst attending a suspected “sex party” with various Thai women.

Col Suwanla-ong explained to the gathered press that the investigations and subsequent busts were part of an ongoing operation to purge drugs and illegal activities from the streets of Pattaya. He further revealed that today’s raid was organised ahead of the impending Buddhist long weekend holiday.

Maybe because they have money and Thailand needs money desperatly now, by the way the sex tourism in Pattaya is much more made by US people than english,french and aussies..
And you're american right?
I have for almost everynight young to old Farangs haning out with some Thai person and I am not certain how old were there exactly
It would be sad for those who meet some nice man or woman and then they didn't no those are young age...they might ended themselves in Thai jail
Sex and sex using drugs too bad indeed
LOL
Sex is Great.
They should just stick to one. Drugs is only going to bring you trouble. Stupid people.
Strangest Scots name I have ever heard !!
I was supprisd he got out last Feb when he got caught with coke and ice on him outside Family mart.
He was very lucky to be bailed out last time.
I don't think anyone will bail him out this time.
it's a shame as he isn't a bad bloke.
If he get's locked up again it will be a real shame for the guy.
The farrang at the front has obviously been in Thailand for many years or he is a French man.
This is because he is sitting in a way only Thais and French people can do when they use a prehistoric pooing hole.
I notice that the officer on the left with the bald head (airport) is more interested in the dildos four of his buds are also watching something in the Dildo collection other than the camera. One is picking his nose, some of them forgot to dress in their uniforms for the photo op. This arrest is so important that one would think they would be standing at attention with straight faces etc. The handcuffed airports are probably the Auzzie and the Frenchie. They don't like the Scott I guess and tried to run or something. This raid is understandable and it probably stopped the drain from the bars. After all why pay for a girl when all you have to do is go to the party and meet and dine with them first and then??? What ever. This is total unnecessary policing accept for the drug abuse.
That is all.
Buy only from your fellow farang.
man , that's a lot of coke (20 grams) ; that was gonna' be some "blow" out
