afghanica said:there were several thousand extrajudicial executions commited by the Royal Thai Police of suspected drug dealers (many of whom were completely innocent, or perhaps just competing with the cops in the drug trade).
That being said, I've spent enough time there myself to know that unless you are a really dumbass farang, you can have lots of fun and stay out of trouble. Thailand is a great place. The people, the food, the culture are all fabulous.
lol. i was udorn thani for a year. we were cool farongs, into the culture and all that good stuff.
my roomie and i were always very careful about putting away pipes and stash. we were living in a huge beautiful house for a ridiculously low price. maid, a driver at our beck and call and a view to die for. the best sunsets and reefer in the world. life was good.
our housegirl put a film case of reefer on the living room table to set up us. sunday morning, in come 3 cops all wearing dark suits, white shirts and sunglasses. looked like a cheap movie. they walked to the pot and the fun started. long story short, after driving us around the monkey house and talking about how bad it would be if us nice american boys had to go there we struck a deal. they took my roomie and his girlfriend and my gf hostage in one car (in a very nice way of course) and i was taken to scrape together what turned out to be about $80.00(u.s.) to stay out of the monkey house. after paying off the main guy, he told me that our housegirl set us up for a cut of the money. no more live in maids.
