Two alleged drug dealers were arrested with a
shoulder bag full of marijuana.
Sinrath Phathasri, 29, and Somprasong Chansaard,
30, were taken into custody Aug. 26 by officers patrolling near the
intersection of Thappraya Road and Soi Marine Plaza who believed the
duo were driving suspiciously.
Searching the men, police found fifteen 15-gram
packs of marijuana. Police claim the suspects confessed to planning
on selling each pack, for which they paid 80 baht, to tourists for
500 baht each.
Both men were charged with possession and intent to sell a Class
5 narcotic.
