Bald-Headed & Tattooed Farang Busted for Eating Happy Soup

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.

He had been eating tom yum goong laced with marijuana.

He faces up to one year in prison.

The happy soup still appeared to be working when his arrest photos were taken.

‘Haute Cuisine:’ Weed Tom Yum Lands Briton in Hot Water

KOH SAMUI — A British businessman on Koh Samui ran foul of the law Wednesday for innovating in the kitchen by adding cannabis to his tom yum goong.

Gary Coughlan, 58, was arrested and charged with drug offenses this morning after policemen noticed he was acting erratically, police told reporters. They said he tested positive for drug use.

Police said Coughlan, a real estate developer who has been living on Koh Samui for 22 years, confessed to eating the spicy shrimp curry infused with marijuana prior to his arrest, citing its benefits for good sleep. He said a Thai friend provided the substance.

Although the interim parliament recently passed a law legalizing medical marijuana, unsanctioned use of the plant remains illegal. Violators face jail time of up to a year.

I think he has some kind of mental disorder.

The cops say that he was behaving erratically, he is grinning like a lunatic in the photos, and he posted some weird stuff on facebook not long before he was arrested.
