So they are going to through 60 people in the already totally overcrowded monkey houses where there is easy access to drugs, and of course put the violations on their records so the only job they will ever have is sex worker. This action does not stop drugs in Thailand, It only causes more misery. If the police used the same energy to go after the main suppliers it may mean something. All they do is bust “mules" and users. They find millions of Ya ba pills in a warehouse in BKK but do not mention any arrests. Probably all the drugs are back on the street.

I feel much safer in Pattaya now, thank you very much police!

Now what about the well-known Jetski scam that still goes on, the countless scams of condo developers and the tea money foodstall owners have to pay to certain persons with short haircuts on a regular basis?
