I’ve noticed that most of the criminals in Thailand seem to be foreigners.

Does this mean that all the Thai criminals are working abroad? Is there some sort of International criminal exchange scheme in operation somewhere? Perhaps it`s run by the BOI?

Thai criminals seem more likely to gravitate towards scams.  Tuk tuk, sick buffalo, and gem shop scams on the lower end up to multi billion dollar tax scams on the upper.  Running around in the heat picking pockets is just so tiring when you could relax and wait for some dumb tourist to hand the cash over with a smile.

So this Guy openly admits to take Illegal Drugs in Thailand on a daily Basis.
Quite Clever ...
Maybe someone should tell him that Steroids are Illegal in Thailand since a couple of years..

Do you have a source that these are illegal?  I thought they were legal.  Pretty much anything is legal here as long as it doesn't get you high or can be used to make drugs that get you high.  Hence them cracking down on cold medicine recently.

Trust me they are illegal.
Not everything you can buy here in Thailand over the Counter of a pharmacy is legal for you to consume, sell etc.
For example
The drug dealer, who normally sold her drugs online, was caught red-handed on her first time distributing drugs in person, selling 10 boxes of illegal steroids – all worth approximately 31,000 Baht.

Tourist Police Division (located at Supachalasai Stadium), Police Captain Peerapat Paromwut Deputy Investigating Officer stated that the arrest of 29-year-old Ms. Penprakai Tieng-ngok has occurred at Ekkamai Bus Station. The police discovered that this bus stop was a meeting point of a drug suspect, who has been distributing Steroids to Thai and foreign clients via the Internet. The police carried out a sting operation accordingly.

After interrogation, the suspect confessed that this was her first time dealing the drugs in person. She worked for Mrs. Ya – owner of a drug store in South Pattaya. The suspect’s delivery payment was 2,000 Baht.

The suspect was a former winner of 2010 Asian body builder and fitness competition, under 164 cm category, in Singapore.

The suspect was charged with distribution of illegal drugs – sentenced to 5 years and fined 10,000 Baht. Police continued their questioning.
That article isn't very convincing.  Even if some are illegal that doesn't mean that they are all illegal.  Selling drugs without a license is illegal as well so that could have been the reason for her arrest, or she could have been selling something that broke a patent that was being protected.  People can get arrested for selling copies even if the original is legal.  And your article isn't very detailed, she could have been arrested for selling them over the internet, Thailand doesn't allow people to sell drugs over the internet to foreign countries.  It is illegal to export drugs without a license even if you can buy them legally over the counter in Thailand.  That's why you don't see a lot of online pharmacies based in Thailand anymore, the US government pressured them to close them down years ago.

Yesterday, 13:29

They've begun putting more power lines underground in some places.  In Hat Yai for instance and they've begun in Phuket Town.  Looks a lot nicer and hope the trend spreads.

In Topic: Tesco Precooked Food On Sale

Yesterday, 11:52

Seriously getting worried about chicken left out a couple hours in an air conditioned Tesco?  I'm guessing you don't eat much street food.  I don't worry about it and buy food from Tesco at the end of the day when it's on sale all the time.  If you're really worried maybe heat it up again or put it in a dish your cooking.  Also the Tesco chickens are usually dried out in my opinion, better to find a street place selling grilled chicken.  It'll be freshly cooked too.
