Two Phuket Tourists Held for Possession of Marijuana
By Chutima Sidasathian
Saturday, November 19, 2011
PHUKET: Two European tourists are being held in cells at Phuket Provincial Court after being arrested for possessing marijuana.
The men, Kevin Baukns, 24, from Belgium, and Sebastian Jbiloo, 30, from France, were arrested at a checkpoint in the small west coast beach village of Kalim about 11pm on Thursday night.
Officers from Phuket's Kathu Police Station found 10 grams of maijuana in a plastic bag in the motorcycle that the pair were riding towards Patong.
The men are likely to be held without bail until Monday, when a court will decide under what conditions they can be freed.
Phuketwan understands a Russian man was arrested earlier in the week in Patong for a similar offence. He is being held in custody and will appear in court on Thursday.
The ''no tolerance'' policy towards drugs means that amounts of marijuana that would pass without notice in some other countries bring the full force of the law on Phuket and in Thailand.

Two Phuket Tourists Held for Possession of Marijuana
"Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

Five or Six figure pay off I'd say, if they have a brain cell (and the cash) between them.

2 lads on holiday with 10g of pot are obviously quite a criminal enterprise.
Best the coppers stick to sucking off JJ and the violent tourist extortionists, and the tuktuk gangs who beat tourists within an inch of their lives in public.

No chance, CM. These boys will rot in jail for weeks or months or be given the option of paying their way out. Unless someone high up gets involved, they'll pay "bail", do a runner, and never return (nor see their money again).
