Bangkok – Five nabbed in Thai fake sex drugs swoop

Via: Pattaya Daily News

Bangkok authorities arrested five men in a crackdown on sex drugs sold illegally to tourists in streets around the city’s red light districts, Thai police said Tuesday.

Raids on July 25 and 28 netted several fake or unlicensed drugs such as Viagra, which is normally prescribed for men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

“We have received complaints from the public that stalls explicitly sell fake drugs to tourists in the evenings,” said Colonel Paitoon Khumsraprom of the consumer protection police.

In total five men, two Myanmar nationals and three Thais, were arrested in the two raids, carried out in the China Town and Nana areas of the city.

They were charged over offences including the illegal sale of drugs and selling fake and unlicensed drugs. If convicted they could face up to 20 years in prison.

Police released a list of items seized in the operation, which were estimated to be worth a total of 500,000 baht ($16,800).

These included various types of Viagra, “Waman penis enlarging tablet”, Kamagra oral jelly — in banana, apple and blackcurrant flavours — and an item intriguingly listed as “Night fire heartily burnable lady’s intense emotion”.

“This has tarnished Thailand’s tourism image,” (yeah, think?) said an official from the Thai Food and Drug Administration, which also took part in the raids.

‘Kamagra oral jelly — in banana, apple and blackcurrant flavours’

Jus’ a thought, but if “Night fire heartily burnable lady’s intense emotion” is the PLAN, I would think banana, . . .

Thailand – ‘planking’ news

Via: Asia One News

1. ‘Posting Nude Photos on line an offence’

“We will write to the National Police Office as well as the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Ministry to ask that they block [Web pages containing the pictures] and nail down (?) the people who posted them,” the centre’s director Ladda Tangsupachai said. She said people who posted such pictures would face legal action for violating the 2007 Computer Crimes Act.

Ladda also said that although it was not illegal to perform nude planking in private places, she warned people against it, saying that it was “not constructive” and “inappropriate”.

~~~

2. Lara Louise Pland Saen, 20, a tourist from the Netherlands, climbed over the roof of a car-rent company in Chiang Mai on Sunday night in the hope of planking, but ended up breaking many roof tiles.

The broken tiles fell and damaged a car parked below.

A security guard quickly alerted police and Saen, who was clearly drunk (really?), was arrested. She later admitted she was trying to perform planking and offered to pay compensation.

The company, however, has refused to settle the case out of court. It has insisted that she should be charged with intrusion and causing property damage.

~~~

3. In a related development, Mahamakut Buddhist University’s assistant rector for legal affairs Songkran Atchariyasap said that after personally offering a reward of Bt5,000 for information identifying a man seen planking in a monk’s robe, he had obtained pictures and “crucial information”.

He plans to give the information to the National Office of Buddhism today.

“It’s not an appropriate thing for a monk to do. If we find that the man in the picture is really a monk, we will alert the abbot of his temple. A reprimand must be issued,” said the office’s director Amnaj Buasiri.

Amnaj suggested that monks should begin “meditation planking” if they saw the trend as an opportunity to promote the practice of Lord Buddha’s teachings.

Daily Mail:  ‘come to our zoo, . . . then eat the animals” (10 May 2007)

As conservation plans go, this one is perhaps not from the Department of Good Ideas. Visitors to a new zoo will not only get up close and personal with some of the world’s most exotic animals, but will be able to eat examples at the park’s restaurant afterwards.

The £60 ‘Exotic Buffet’ at the newly-built safari park in Thailand includes such delicacies as elephant and giraffe, with lion and tiger also on the menu for lovers of big cat steaks.

The safari park’s project director, Plodprasop Suraswadi, said: ‘The zoo will offer visitors the chance to experience exotic foods, such as imported horse,  kangaroo, giraffe, snake, elephant, and tiger and lion meat. We will also provide domestic crocodile and dog meat.’ The canines would come from Sakorn  Nakorn province, where locals regard grilled dog as a delicacy.”

personal thought:

The Night Safari got off to a VERY BAD START; but Dr. Sarawut looks like a very cool guy, so I wish him the very best.

Bangkok – Czech duo (Hans, und Franz) wanted for robbery nabbed

Via: The Nation

Two Czech nationals were arrested in Chon Buri’s Sri Racha district  for alledgedly stealing Euro 3 million (Bt 129 million) from a security agency’s armoured van two years ago.

Josef ‘Hans’ Blazek, 32, und Rodolf ‘Franz’ Tesarek, 35, were apprehended at a shopping mall for illegally entering Thailand from Laos, immigration police said. The duo were initially charged with illegal entry and overstaying their visa, pending possible handover to Czech police.

Both suspects had been sentenced to 12 years in jail by a Czech court, before they jumped bail and fled. They arrived in Laos last August, and entered Thailand on May 13.

Both men were known for their victory in a European strength competition and were seeking to practise Muay Thai in a number of local gyms before they were arrested.

According to an online Czech newspaper, the Czech Republic and Thailand do not have an extradition treaty. This is why the extradition of the two men would have to be based on a mutual ad hoc agreement, Czech Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tereza Paleckova said.

“The Czech Republic would have to pledge that it would extradite a detained [Thai] person to Thailand in a similar case,” she said.

Pattaya – Volunteer Police Beat Up Drink-Driver

Via: Pattaya Daily News

Pichard Kong Jaren, 26, of Petchaboon province confessed that he was drunk while driving home after a night out with his friends at Bali Hair Pier, South Pattaya.

At around 3 a.m. he drove passed a group of volunteer police but did not recognised them because they did not wear their uniform, Pichard said.

According to one of the volunteer officers, Pichard continued his reckless driving even when an officer had signalled him to stop.

Therefore the volunteer police chased after Pichard’s truck and managed to stop him on the bridge over Road No.7 in Naklua, an officer said.

According to Pichard’s girlfriend, the volunteer officials approached Pichard and beat him up violently in front of other patrol police, who did not intervene in the assault.

UPDATE:

Adding insult to injury, the gang; no, no, no, I mean the volunteers were singing show tunes!

Most people live on a lonely island,
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea.
Most people long for another island,
One where they know they will like to be.

Bali Hair may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you’ll hear it call you:
“Come away…Come away.”

Bali Hair will whisper
In the wind of the sea:
“Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!”
