Has Thailand chilled a lot with regard to drugs? I mean yeah 5 years is a lot of time for the person doing it but seems lenient compared to what you read in those "foreigner busted in Thailand" books.

A dipshit up the road was busted for selling yaba, something like 150 pills on him when he was busted. He got 4 years and has to start serving his sentence before the end of the month. This prick comes from a wealthy family, at new years he was in a motorcycle accident while racing that killed his buddy and kept him in the hospital for a month and is so fat he has to sleep in the sitting position. The prison will do him good even if he goes back to dealing when he gets out.
I imagine the kiwi will get at least the same or the full 5and while sentences may not be as long as in the past I don't believe conditions are any better
