The book Damage Done by Warren Fellows, should be required reading for any one going to Thailand and think that they can take drugs.

Is it at all airports that they focuse on people returning from Thailand. When I arrived in AMS, they had 2 dogs and 8 police officers at the exit of the plane. One dog really went of at a little girl who was carrying a small teddy bear. But she was allowed to pass.

He never got locked up because he took drugs.

Definitely happened to a friend and myself when walking through the 'nothing to declare' section of arrivals at Heathrow in September. She asked what our jobs were and where we had returned from? As soon as my friend responded builder and Thailand, the women immediately wanted to examine his suitcase. I never got checked, either because I'm a student or the more likely the state of his suitcase disgusted her :Drink4: . Lucky for me aswell, the TG helped pack my suitcase (not that I asked) and somehow managed to add fruit.

OZ has the strictest (& most arrogant) customs officers i have ever encountered (ive landed in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns). They are so thorough. I once had my bag completely emptied ( holding my boxers up to the light for added harrasement and effect) and they swabbed all of my credit cards for traces of drugs !!!

My experience is totally opposite. I have been in and out of Australia many times in the last 5 years. Up until 2 years ago I was entering and leaving once every 6 weeks and now it is every 8 weeks. I have only every had my bag checked once by one of them and it is not thorough at all. I guess it is because I put on the form that I am overseas for work purposes or perhaps Perth is a good place to travel from and to.

 

Have you every been to the US?.... :Drink4:

Make sure you clean your shorts.

 

It is a crap shoot on searches wherever you go. Wherever you go one thing is for sure. When you are in customs, anywhere, they have you by the balls. You have no rights. There are some idiots who can't figure this out. There are other bigger idiots who take the chance. Complete Morons.

 

Never take anything with you that can cause you problems. Period.

Yeah we're pretty thorough down here. I think it's because we're an island and we're so remote we don't want all those diseases they have in Europe and America

 

and they swabbed all of my credit cards for traces of drugs !!!

 

that's cos it's well known that you guys like the charlie

Maybe they just like picking on the poms, I have never had any problems when arriving , in fact 9 times out of 10 I have been fasttracked through customs where the customs guy comes around whilst you are wating for oyur bags at the carousel and stamps your card.

 

Once in BKK Airport I checked my bags in at 12.30pm and flew out at 11.00pm that night so my bags had been unattended in a Cloak Room in BKK Airport for 8-9 Hours (padlocked bags) just as I was about to board my name was read out over the loud speaker to come to the front desk and I shit bricks, but it was just to be upgraded to business class.

if they set him up it would be for a big bribe and he would not be in the monkey house ,but as you said he went to prison, looks like the police where just doing their job .
