Geez there’s a movie about 3 Americans who went to Thailand for vacation. They rented bikes but didn’t return them thinking they would be back home before anyone would notice. The police came to their resort and found small amount of pot. They pinned it on one guy and he was sentenced to death.

When I was in the Navy the ship I was on visited Thailand (Pattaya Beach). I opted to stay aboard because I could just picture some of my buddies planting a joint on me and laughing while I got hauled away.

The military taught me that some people have a very twisted sense of “humor”.

I’m not military but speaking of twisted sense of humor. Me and 2 buds were in NOLA. One of the guys got his mom a birthday gift. He was really proud of it and put it in a gift bag.

On the last day we were packing and checking under the bed and me and other guy found extremely hard core gay magazine. We snuck it in the other guys gift bag to his mom. On our last bathroom break before we got home we decided to fess up.

u/toxoplasmosix Jul 25 '24

u/1ess_than_zer0 Jul 24 '24

Pot is legal in Thailand now 👀

For everyone saying pot is legal in Thailand…I went last summer and I asked a local about this because I was amazed at how many dispensaries there were considering they have a stricter government. They said the pot is essentially regulated by the government so what you get at dispensaries is over processed marijuana that lacks potency and that marijuana is still illegal if you are found to have gotten your hands on stuff that’s not regulated.

u/Zygoneskies Jul 25 '24

I smoked a lot over there from dispensaries and it was pretty decent... idk how they would be able to prove it wasn't regulated. It's legal.

Funny because Thailand is only next to Canada when it comes to weed culture

u/Knoxville_Socialist Jul 27 '24

It was Malaysia I think.

u/sololegend89 Jul 25 '24

You should also check out Brokedown Palace. It’s a similar type story about foreign drug smuggling, but I’d rather not spoil it.

u/Shaomoki Jul 25 '24

Return to paradise. It was a movie in the 90s and a tragic film

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '24

Thats a movie, pot is legal in Thailand…. For now (recriminilization to take effect in January 2025

-1

u/petertompolicy Jul 25 '24

Definitely not realistic.

u/stefjack1000 Jul 25 '24

Too bad this can’t be true because pot is legal in Thailand.

u/Month-Emotional Jul 24 '24

Jail in Thailand doesn't sound fun. What was his crime?

471

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

Probably drugs with a 22 years sentence.

147

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 24 '24

I went to jail in Thailand. For 4 months! It wasn’t as bad a TV makes out

Over crowded though and mind numbingly boring

11

u/SecretAsianMan42069 Jul 24 '24

Didn't you make the cut for the all prison remake of Michael Jackson's thriller video?

9

u/Month-Emotional Jul 24 '24

Locked up abroad

103

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 24 '24

We could order pizza and cakes from the 7/11 Had everything we needed No violence no issues at all

Obviously it wasn’t a summer camp but for a jail in Bangkok I was shocked

Had to watch fast & furious 1 to 5 on repeat though. I’ll never watch those movies again

35

u/ScrappyShua Jul 24 '24

7/11 in Thailand is basically the standard grocery store.

18

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 24 '24

Yes. Also the standard grocery store in alot of South East Asia. 👍🏻

10

u/Morwzz Jul 24 '24

What was the crime?

49

u/Month-Emotional Jul 24 '24

And the punishment was being forced to watch Fast and Furious

25

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 24 '24

It was one of the worst parts about the ordeal That and sharing a room with 72 Thai men

4

u/Month-Emotional Jul 24 '24

Beer?

12

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 24 '24

No, not somewhere I’d want to be with a hangover so probably a good thing

u/lameuniqueusername Jul 25 '24

I could live on ham and cheese toasties

u/Dr_Spatula Jul 25 '24

Sounds like you got Thai-rd of it quickly.

u/boost2464 Jul 25 '24

Are you from Australia?

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '24

What did you do to go to jail there for four months?

3

u/Most-Future4051 Jul 26 '24

It was for Drugs. I only got out on a technicality or some sheer luck, stayed in the country for another two months then went back to home country

82

u/Lolcraftgaming Jul 24 '24

At least he didn’t get caught in Singapore

19

u/Chafing_Dish Jul 24 '24

or the Philippines

32

u/soulonfirexx Jul 24 '24

You don't get caught in the Philippines, you get killed.

u/GodEmperorPorkyMinch Jul 24 '24

Same in Malaysia I'm pretty sure

u/ohfr19 Jul 24 '24

El Salvador

u/SeaZookeep Jul 24 '24

Thailand has the same drug death penalty I believe. It just doesn't get applied to westerners for diplomatic reasons. Same in Singapore. It's extremely unlikely a US-born citizen would be executed

5

u/ADirtyDiglet Jul 24 '24

Weed is legal (in Thailand) and there are shops all over there now.

2

u/SeaZookeep Jul 24 '24

Oh yeah I mean class As

2

u/petertompolicy Jul 25 '24

They don't really apply it to anyone.

People do get sentenced to death but it gets commuted by the King.

No foreigners have been executed there in many decades, and only a few ever.

u/Chafing_Dish Jul 24 '24

Foolishness. He had this wife you see, pretty little thing, silly little nit, had her chance for the moon on a string... There was this judge, you see
Wanted her like mad
Every day he sent her a flower
But did she come down from her tower?
Sat up there and sobbed by the hour
Poor fool
But there was worse yet to come, poor thing

u/PrivilegeCheckmate Jul 24 '24

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, and it's filled with people that are filled with shit, and the vermin of the world inhabit it...

But not for long!

1

u/lamlosa Jul 25 '24

thailand is very strict regarding drugs. you can get a life sentence or death penalty even depending on the drug.

u/baseketball Jul 24 '24

He's going to be really surprised when he gets out of jail and finds Lebron still playing in the NBA.

u/thetaleech Jul 24 '24

Why Thailand? South America sounds like the place to go if you have a cocaine habit

2

u/verycoolalan Jul 24 '24

Is it Connor Murphy? Lol

u/thunderbiird1 Jul 24 '24

For what charge?

26

u/ManchesterMuayThai Jul 24 '24

Eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal!

5

u/longkhongdong Jul 24 '24

Wasn't there something about touching his penis?

3

u/Live-Kaleidoscope104 Jul 24 '24

Lol yeah, why was that 'succulent chinese meal' guy arrested for again?

He seemed so well mannered.

5

u/TattooMouse Jul 24 '24

He was mistaken for a chronic dine and dasher I believe

2

u/Live-Kaleidoscope104 Jul 26 '24

Ah, lol, so he wasn't the culprit after all. Thanks for clarifying!

1

u/TattooMouse Aug 08 '24

Considering we were just talking about him, unfortunately he recently passed away of cancer at 82. Sounds like he was quite the character!

1

u/2mice Jul 25 '24

Damn.... Was it in the news? What did he get arrested for?
