Why do the UK scum bags head to Pattaya??! We don't want them :( :(

Good that the Thai government are cooperating with the UK police, maybe these type of people will head somewhere else in the future, though a shame they don't get charged here as that will be a deterrent!

Probably nothing. If Interpol have a red notice out for them they will be arrested anywhere and held while the issuing country makes an application for extradition. It is not necessary for them to have committed a crime in Thailand.

Does anyone know what bar on Buakhao they had drunk in???

Arrested on an Interpol warrant yes and yes they dont have to have committed a crime here but they can't be "charged" here as suggested by the previous poster.

Did you hear about who will be running the Interpol soon? Ex Russian KGB guy!!

If the UK issue an alert then their passports will be tracked, and then the police in any country can arrest them for deportation.

He got rejected after an uproar by western nations. A Korean in the British popo got the gig. Apparently there would have been little he could have done anyway as the head can't intervene in any case and all he does is approve budgets.

I bet they frequented Soi 6?

Actually it is not unlikely the Thai will charge and convict them. 

If they are suspected for drugs offences, the Thai will convict them for money laundering.

There is a Dutch drug lord spending life time ( or at least a long time ) in prison in Thailand because the money he has spend here came from selling drugs.

edit: Drugs money laundring, not life time, only 103 years

Edit #2 : just read the article, although he is probably not the most innocent man in the world, but he got set up big time by Dutch authorities!

Make an absolute farce of the extradition treaty with UK if they charged them after UK got them involved with their warrant so they could be arrested and extradited to face charges in UK.

Calling him a drugs Lord seems a bit over the top. He was running a few coffee shops in the Netherlands. Now selling marijuana is for a long time confined in Holland so not so much illegal. 

However the Dutch authorities thought he might not have declared all to taxes so the made a request for information to Thailand where he was living at the time after selling his coffee shops. 

As marijuana sales is illegal in Thailand the Thai authorities charged him with money laundry as he obviously spend some of his money in Thailand. So he got 100 years sentence for something that was not strictly illegal in the country where it happened. 

This is the case that was on my mind when I made my previous post.

It was in the back of my head and one of the articles labeled him as such, edited the post twice, as I said in my last edit, he was set up big time.

They are from my home town. Known them almost all of my life 555.

Unlucky fellas! 

They haven’t committed any offences in Thailand. They are wanted on an international warrant for drugs in England.

Real unlucky or not smart enough to realise they can be extradited from Thailand.

States lose their minds when it comes to drugs.

Years ago, Canada used to be a sovereign nation, with sovereign citizens.  There was a Canadian individual named Marc Emery who sold Cannabis seeds through the mail.  This was legal in Canada - and he paid a large pile of taxes every year to the Canadian government on his profits.  This was explicitly legal (codified in law) and de facto legal (if the government accepts tax revenue from a reported activity, it's legal).  One day the USA says "give him to us" and Canada, shamefully abandoning their status as sovereign nation, hands over one of their own citizens to spend time rotting in an American federal prison.  Madness.

But hey, at least nobody was able to smoke pot in America for a few years while he was in jail.

These two brothers would have been wise to flee somewhere without an extradition treaty with the UK.  The long arm of the law has nothing better to do than to catch guys like this.

Think they just wanted a bit of a blow out before being caught

He was prosecuted in the USA for selling them illegally in USA though was he? Makes no difference if it is legal to sell them in his country.

Yes, prosecuted in the USA.  You're correct, it makes no difference - unless you're a sovereign country.  In that case, you don't deport one of your own citizens to a foreign country to be charged for crimes and jailed for activities that are legal and taxable in your own country.  

Imagine Australia deporting you (who I assume to be a citizen) to Thailand to face Lese Majeste charges for something you typed on your computer while in Australia.  It would never happen.  Nobody would stand for it.  

My point was, states lose their mind when it comes to drugs - to the point of ceasing to be sovereign nations with their own laws, and turning over their own citizens to foreign governments to be prosecuted for legal activities.
