News Forum - Pathum Thani noise complaint ends in multiple drug busts

The Department Of Provincial Administration joined the district chief of Klong Luang in Pathum Thani to investigate the noise complaint and ended up setting up a sting operation that culminated in a drug bust instead of just a noise violation.

Gotta remember that - if we have a problem with noisy Thai people nearby, get the wife to make a anonymous complaint about parties and that it looks like they are dealing drugs. Then the BiB will come running hoping to get a bust and some coverage in the news media.

Ive just been reading a story from a farang where his wife got 25 years to life for drugs, they came after the possessions, ie, property and cars

Any bust is good propaganda for the RTP, distraction from the fact a lot don't do their jobs and are too busy collecting tea money.

But useful  if  complaining  about  noise to say you :think"  there's  drugs there too.

I'm not advocating for people to do illegal things. But if you do something illegal, do it quietly. Or else you might as well go to the police station and ask them to lock you up yourself.
