Pol. Lt. Col Chaigrit said the police team had been watching the couple for quite some time and learned that they had been supplying drugs to tourists in entertainment places in Pattaya.

 

According to information received, the suspects had been operating their drug business at the property, 456 / 73 Pratumnak Soi 6, Moo 12. The police team with a warrant issued at the Pattaya Court, searched the house and arrested the couple.

The newspaper article said "The couple later confessed to operating a drug business for around three years.". I have noticed that the Thai police usually get immediate confessions. I was told that was because if someone pleads not guilty and are found guilty they will get a much larger sentence. Is that the case? Of course there seems to be a hell of a lot of evidence.
