Danish man caught with 1.6kg of heroin at Phuket Airport

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Well, he seems to be a mule/carrier/bagman, so there must be a buyer and seller on with either end, i.e. Thailand & Denmark.

Does anyone know how they manage to keep the mules from informing the authorities where the stuff came from?

I suppose they don't know the identity of the receiver though, through use of some method of putting it in a locker in a train station or something as seen in various movies.

Anyway, certainly a dodgy business to get into. Many most go undetected; otherwise people wouldn't risk it.

Hopefully a very long prison sentence in a Thai prison, & publically named & shamed throughout his own country

I have more respect for dog shit on a footpath than people involved in suppling drugs

More likely 99 years.

They threaten to kill them?

and their families and friends.
of course he is a mule , not easy for a tourist to make contacts to purchase that amount .
guys that move smack are very very deadly

Usually the drop off is at the mules hotel and no names are involved

sellers pass it on to mules who pass it on to other mules who pass it on to other mules who pass it on to sellers, the main sellers/buyers each end never gets their hands dirty they just pays mules to do it,

Growers/manufactures sell to dealers who arrange mules,
a cutout man than delivers product to mules who carry it to xxx country, Usually accompanied on the flight by a person unknown to the mule to observe
Note; there might be and usually are, more than 1 mule on a flight unknown to each other.
On arrival they are told to go to a pre arranged drop hotel where a cutout picks up product :beer3: :beer3:
