Another example of one person behaving completely irresponsibly and ruining whatever laid-back atmosphere is left there by flagrantly smoking up in such a public place that police almost have to make a show of force. If he kept it private and didn't flaunt it in people's faces, he would probably have had no issues. If you want to get high, rent a house, maintain a low profile, keep the smoke away from the neighbors, and don't be so frickin' obvious about breaking the law. I guess some people are only content having an audience to see them smoke up as a sad validation of how cool and carefree they think they are.

Well said. The amount he was busted with looks tiny, but he was obviously attracting attention by for a start looking like a doofus and secondly carrying a 2 foot long gigantic bamboo bong around. I notice he was also supposedly carrying around an ax, and a pouch of throwing knives. That's kind of weird, but who knows, maybe he's just some kind of lumberjack or backwoodsman or something. Anyway, it's not exactly the capture of Pablo Escobar we're talking about.

Yep. And it didn't seem out of the question that he might have been dealing, as I see at least 3 separate bags of weed.

When i first came to Cambodia & stayed at the old GBT guest house every balcony was filled with pot smokers!
I am not the heavy smoker that i was but still like the odd joint, bit of a worry!
My auntie for example is a well to do business owner in her 60's, she shuts down for the Scottish winter & travels to Goa knowing that she doesn't have to look over her shoulder when she has a smoke. This can influence peoples travel plans.
I can understand being arrested for the axe & knives but should of left the green out of it!

I don't know about that, I've been in India a couple of times, once for a few months, and Goa was the only place I saw police searches. I even got searched myself on the beach at Arumbol. They didn't find the charas I had cunningly hidden in a sunglasses case.

Well said, indeed, Rutiger. I apply similar remarks to those who insist on walking with a quart (500 ml) beer in hand down the street, hoping people recognize his uber coolness. Excluding the alcoholic Russians, it's almost always a youngster who's anything but cool.

I'm guessing the guy in the purple shorts is the owner, then. Said in the KT he'd been asked multiple times to pack it in before the cops were called, although why he didn't kick him out if he was being a dick is another question, that amount of plod would cost a lot of money.
