U.S. DEA Agents in Nong Khai

[Finney64]

Just been chatting with a mate who works near the Friendship bridge in Nong Khai , and for the 2nd time this week , there are 2 DEA agents from the States making random searches on vehicles entering Thailand from Laos .
Not undercover , they're wearing Batman -style utility belts & the obligatory federal agent shades .
I could understand if it was the mexico - US border , but Laos-Thailand wtf?

[SEA Traveler]

where there are 2, one can rest be assured that there are others. signature of drugs being captured in the US these days may from SEA or possibly the travel route of the drugs getting into the US has been ID'd at this location and the DEA is keeping the natives on their toes. looking to cut off the flow closer to source.

America owns the world.

Nong Kai is Laosy with CIA.
I said to GF. "Lots of good English spoken here darling"
She say "CIA"
I say "what from 1970"
She say "No, still here".

The DEA are all over the world - that's it

I wonder if sniffer dogs can pick up drugs in a womans snatch.
How many pills do you recon they can get in there

I think they would. can we have a vote?

But obviously not that efficient

Well considering that the biggest drug traffickers of all in Afghanistan are actually on their payroll, I guess they can spare a few goons being sent here.

Just ridiculous, this 'war on drugs'. And did I mention, hypocritical?

[the dogcatcher]

How many kilos do you want to smuggle into LOS.
1000 kg.
No problem, I'll make a call.

They're only interested in large multi national drug ring busts and intelligence gatherence, don't think two of them in Nong Khai wearing uniform were doing much - but the OP cleary is a rumour heard in the bar

[sabang]

Incidentally, this 'operation' is known about all along the Mekhong.
Even the noble weed procurers are taking a well earned break.

Around "town".
But business as usual elsewear I might suggest.

Sorry but you are wrong - I've observed them over the last week. They got two Lao girls earlier this week with 2000 yaba. They're stopping the Thai-Lao International buses and letting a black lab have a good sniff at the bags under and then inside the bus.

we could have a prize as well just like how many jelly bean in the jar thing.

[sabang]

Doing what they are paid for anyway- carnt knock the blokes themselves.
Much better posting than ghan, for sure. The mekhong is a pretty porous border of course, but I wasn't aware that all that much of the contraband coming across (plenty of that) was on the pill side of things.

[liveinlos]

Lots of observation and innuendo but never any photos?

[Norton]

Sure is. Any major drug smuggler with half a brain isn't going to bring the drugs in over a bridge. Will be on the thousands of boats crossing every night.

[Mr Lick]

Employing an outside agency to assist with Thailand's border drug problem is a sensible move given that the government are unable to trust their own in situations where large sums of cash are likely to be offered to ensure that officials turn a blind eye.

A deterent and an occupation for life unless laws are altered (which i doubt)

[zaxxon]

This link is a must read for anyone trying to understand the DEA's mission. They swabbed the net, but the gems are still there. Just like one of the old breed like Ted, at a certain Patpong bar, so many years ago.
Just Google (ruby-sapphire Ted) and you are there. Enjoy.

[Gerbil]

^ Yep remember Ted well..... Havent seen him around for about 8 years...

[Marmite the Dog]

Hopefully the American Fascist Government will one day listen to the rest of the world and FUCK OFF.

They're not wanted or needed. Fucking criminals the lot of them.

the DEA have probably been in Thailand longer than most of the people on this board.

I for one have never heard of a corrupt US official, honest.
