I wonder how many brown envelopes they found

That goes against every other raid I’ve read about in Thailand. Must’ve been tipped off because with all the bad publicity in Phuket of recent times there’s got to be something good said

Raids don't work, actually it increases the activity, the law has to be super strong to stop drug " all types", until then we will find drug related killings will continue.

Yep. No drugs in Phuket, no prostitution in Pattaya what a law abiding country Thailand is. . . . . . Just as long as the police keep looking the other way!

I bet if the Thai police were to check they could find every motorcyclist has a licence wears a crash helmet and never has more than 2 people on the bike too!

Radical idea but maybe take a drugs dog if serious  about catching dealers and users .

But then again you arent serious about it obviously .

[Thommo]

WOW  Thailand is the only country in this world of ours that has no drugs in the their nightclubs.

Amazing Thailand

Did anyone mention to these hypocrites in government that drugs, booze and sex are the 3 most dominant attractions to Thailand besides shopping.  It certainly NOT museums, temples, or the smog.

What for smog? You've been out of Bangkok area at least one time? And the temples should definitely be one of the reasons many people coming, there are spectacular ones, there are many other reasons also, for example food (one of the best kitchens in the world), stunning nature, cultural tourism, great mountain roads for motorbike trips in the north, amazing hidden and beautiful beaches. I can tell you more....
