Dustyfootphilosopher]Hallå, Vi är tre kamrater som åker 3 1/2 månad till SO Asien i Januari. Vi landar i bangkok och kommer därefter röra oss runt i södra thailand i ungefär en månads tid. Om vi känner oss själva rätt lär det rökas en del gräs under denna månad i solen, så min fråga är.Vad händer egentligen om man blir tagen av polisen för narkotikabrott?
Man har hört så mycket skräckhistorier om livstid medans andra säger att man klarar sig undan med en muta eller möjligtvis lite böter.
Jag vet att denna fråga ställts många gånger men jag har letat både på google och Fb utan några konkreta svar.
Så någon med koll eller erfaranhet, om jag blir tagen med en meck eller blir påkommen med att röka en joint. Ska jag då räkna med fängelse eller räcker det kanske med häktning i några veckor alt böter?
Vi hade aldrig tänkt röra oss med några större mängder utan max en släng eller en gås.

Accountability: Don't expect the Thai police to go easy on you
Thailand has no Police Complaints Commission or anything similar to the UK version. There have been frequent calls for more control or accountability of the police and attempts at reform have been frequent. However, these efforts have always been heavily resisted. Three scholars at Thailand's top university once published a popular analysis of Thailand's illegal economy and stated "The police are unlikely to suppress activities with which they are heavily involved" (Phongpaichit,
The basic scenario: you buy a small bag of pot from your dealer on soi wherever every now and then. One day your dealer gets in trouble with gambling debt or police problems and needs quick relief. The next time you show up, a policeman steps out of the shadows as soon as the deal is made. The policeman offers you a choice: go to jail, or give him all your money plus whatever you can get from your ATM. You take the offer and the cop and dealer split the cash. Woe to the foreigner who is not as wealthy as the stereotype, as the cop may just decide to book you for his trouble.
It may sound contrived, but I see no reason whatsoever why some variant of this scenario should not happen all the time. This is really exactly the same as the commonplace traffic bribery racket. There are many variations on the basic theme.
Foreigners (and wealthy Thais) are very vulnerable to being "shook down" in this way. Unless you are family or you are certain your dealer would not sell you out when he gets in a tight spot, it is unsafe to develop a relationship with a dealer, even for casual use.
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!
