Suwanit Janmechai, 35, from Saraburi was found in possession of 0.35 grams of ice (methamphetamine) and drug taking equipment after police arrested her on Monday after seeing a widely viewed video online in which she appears to be smoking ice in public near Miami Night Club on the world famous Walking Street. Multiple witnesses said she was openly smoking methamphetamine on the street.

She admitted she was a drug user to the police but said it was not her in the video – just someone who looked like her and was wearing the same clothes. It was unclear how she got the drugs as she also stated she is homeless and was the wearing the same clothes as the video.

The video of the original post and her interrogation was posted on YouTube.

People can be heard laughing in the background as the woman explains herself.

Police are charging her for the drugs and she is currently being held in remand pending trial.

Pretty sad really. That was probably somebody's LLT some years ago..they probably occasionally wonder how she is doing now.

Did they arrest the wankers that sell it?

Got to find em first, lets hope they do!

Sad indeed. Drugs can really put people in to a downward spiral. Hope she gets treatment.

Yeah she looks like my ex wife!!!

She hangs around the shop doorways in Pattaya Tai just up from the Temple and sometimes sleeps there as well.

One day I saw her in a Baht bus going up Soi Bukaow and she was stoned out of her mind and was spilling the drink she had.. The driver tried to get her to leave the bus and she went wild. He seemed scared of her so just let her stay.

Do you mean as in retribution, i`d have no qualms in itself about informing the police about drug dealing vermin, but if the dealers associates knew you`d done it they wouldnt be happy.If you`re here just on holiday its best just to leave things, get yourself mixed up in anything here and the consequences could potentially turn out very bad!Even if you lived here one would have to think long and hard about telling the cops, in fact even more so!

She's innocent it was someone else who looked like her and just happened  to incidentally  wear the same similar cloths on that day,

Big time because of retribution, I had my bar for 13 years and saw the same faces most nights, I'm sure there would be some comebacks if they were grassed up.

One of my main rules whilst living there was minding my own business.
