Om en historia på internet duger så
Citat:
My brother just got arrested in Bangkok, he had been there a week and was in a bar where he was offered some cannabis to buy which he stupidly bought when he was drunk. Withing minutes there was a "raid", the police came straight to him, searched him, found the 2 grams of weed and said he would have to pay £400 GBP or face arrest. He didn't have that kind of money so was arrested, charged with having 200(!) grams of cannabis and sent to Bangkok prison. After a few days an English speaking lawyer presented himself, managed to get the amount reduced from 200 grams down to the actual amount of 2 grams and produced the £900 GBP my brother needed to gain bail. My brother then managed to contact my mum and I am now sending the £900 GBP my brother needs to pay his bail as no one else in my family has any money. He is bailed until the end of September when he will have to appear in court. The moral of this story is don't buy drugs in Thailand or better still, boycott the country until it can sort out its police corruption problem! If you are offered drugs it will more than likely be a set up by extremely corrupt cops who only have their own interests (not those of Thai law or the Thai people)in mind!
Skiljer sig inte från den verklighet jag sett i dokumentärer om landet. Inte källan du vill ha, men de drakoniska lagarna är ett faktum, poliskorruptionen är utbredd, så detta är nog inte långt från sant om inte helt sant.
EDIT: Måste slänga in en till. Intressant läsning om inget annat.

I have myself lived in Thailand. I don't do drugs but still I was stopped almost daily by police (as I have long hair most probably)who checked me for drugs, and the reason I was nervous was because I couldn't know if they would plant some in my pockets just to get some bribes. The jails in Thailand are full of "farangs" who think they'll get away from drugs use by waving their passports and/or thinking a small bribe will do. Full moon parties are big business in Thailand, and (silly/naive) tourists get regularly rounded up at isolated beaches when police suddenly show up and have the surrounded (yes they use speed boats so you can't escape into the sea). Many Thai people have a certain resentment towards farangs and take a certain joy in making their lives miserable, particularly Thai police/jail authorities. True, many of the tourists lack respect for Thai people/culture; but many of the "victims" are the "ordinary" farang.
I once met a pretty, blond Scandinavian girl who was drugged and raped in Kusamui by sons of some of the rich locas: she knew the one's who did it but the police would not assist in anyway, and in the end she was wisely advised to just leave the island or she may be killed. Crime against farangs are silenced in the press and police reports are twisted in their favour, which is why so little is written about it and so many farangs live in the illusion that "anything" goes in Thailand.
Men inte stoppar det mig!
