Iranian arrested in Bangkok with 'ice' drug haul
BANGKOK (AFP) -- Thai authorities said they had arrested an Iranian man on drug trafficking charges at Bangkok airport Thursday after finding four kilograms (nine pounds) of methamphetamine in his luggage.
Thai customs said that Javad Wasirpourmanigh, a 38-year-old from Tehran, was found with drugs worth 16 million baht (496,000 dollars) in his carry-on bag after arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Customs said that since October, 19 suspected traffickers have been arrested at the airport, with 28.2 kilograms of drugs confiscated, including eight kilograms of heroin and 15.2 kilograms of methamphetamine, also known as "ice."

What's with all the drug arrests in the last couple of days? Is it the end of month yet? Maybe a few of the traffic cops have been transferred to the drug division and think they have to get the numbers up by the end of the month.

I wonder if this guy will get as much sympathy as the Filipina did in a previous thread. I think not.

A very productive week for the BIB on the face if it,
but likely a loss leader in the war on drugs here.
More drug gang slight of hand.

So if it is a lady, then it's understandable and forgivable or can be minimized. If it's a man, he's bad, evil and should be strung up.
So what is it? Is it about drugs being bad, or is it who does it?

Can anyone explain why people are bringing this drug INTO Thailand?Surely there is a more profitable market than a country that is a large producer.Bit easier to understand if they were taking it out.

This is the 5th Iranian being caught bringing ICE into Thailand in some 3 months?
I mean, larger bust, that is being published here.

I bet he is happy as a pig in the mud he did not get caught in Iran.
It would only take 3 days before his public whipping and when the scabs fall off and all healed he would be hung takes about 6 weeks.

All routes into LOS from Laos & Cambodia are being monitored closely for the past 3 weeks. Looking for guns & ammo or tnt & C4. In the market in Cambodia you can get C4 for 250 Baht per Kilo

250 baht per kilo????? you gotta' be kidding! Sure would be interested in your source of information. THAT is an outrageously low price quote! YOU must be VEEERRY tied in.

Maybe they should grow some real balls and go raid some of those boats down in Klong Toey, it would make the little boys at the airport look like a fart in the wind.

It happened before and it will happen again soon. But what I don’t appreciate is posts from Iranians when I wrote something pretty harmless about drug dealing (trafficking) Ayatollahs.
The reply was so full of hate, this guy was really threatening to kill me…….they’ll get killed in their country immediately having such an amount of dope?
Please don’t send me that hate post again; I’ll do something you won’t appreciate…….

Don’t get me wrong, but all nations should use the same metric system. Four kg= nine pounds? Who’s doing the Math? Som Nam Na………………
Doesn’t kilo mean one thousand? Wouldn’t that be 4,000 grams? Sorry, can’t get it….
To go on, if all nations would use one pound as 500 grams it would be eight kilos, or???

Have you ever thought about guys who changed their staff, producing cheap shit instead of something natural?
Speed is so cheap to produce and they’re making more money because the market wants some speedy stuff.
Ayatollahs nephews seem to be very smart to live in the BIG TIGER and die in there.

Iranians don't like their government, so I have sympathy for that. But for drugs, I think they should have dozens of drug sniffing dogs patrolling the airport all the time. Glad they're stopping this crap and hope it continues.

Stop talking crap. I live in Cambodia. 8$ for a Kilo of C4? Thats nonsense. 8$ is what 16 9mm rounds cost in Cambodia. 1 Kilo of C4. SMACK!

Because people here are demandng it supply and demand. If foreigners were not coming here to use drugs, drugs would not be coming into the country. What came fitst the chicken or the egg.
