PATONG: Kathu Police on Saturday arrested American Michael Feldstein, 64, for possession of illegal drugs, after a search of the man’s apartment uncovered a variety of “recreational” drugs – including ya bah (methamphetamine).
Kathu Police Deputy Inspector Pol Lt Patak Khwunna told Gazette that Feldstein, an engineer, had been under suspicion for about a month before his arrest.
At around 7 am on July 22, police obtained a court warrant to search the man’s condominium, located at S-1401 Patong Tower on Soi Patong Resort.
There they found five ya bah pills, 31 tablets of ya E (ecstasy) and two grams of ya Ice (crystal methamphetamine).
Also arrested was 24-year-old bar boy Trakul Seesaeng, who admitted to taking drugs but denied having sold the narcotics to Feldstein.
Under police questioning, Feldstein flatly denied all charges against him and said he would speak further only in front of the court. He is currently being held in a cell at the Kathu Police Station in Patong, where his request to police for bail was turned down.
Charges against Feldstein will soon be filed with the Phuket Provincial Court, where he will again be able to apply for release on bail.
Too bad too sad.
All we do is confirm they got a fair trail, otherwise- let them rot in a Thai prison.
"Ice (crystal methamphetamine)."
Sorry, but anyone who takes this is too stupid to live. In Malaysia he wouldn't; it carries the death penalty.
"Charges against Feldstein will soon be filed with the Phuket Provincial Court,"
(Butthead voice) Huh, huh, huh.....he said "Phuket".
Just hang all 64 of them.
Yep. If a 67-year-old man had been arrested with a 24-year-old "bar boy" for possession of ecstasy and other drugs in the US, it would not even make the news.
Sorry, but anyone who takes this is too stupid to live. In Malaysia he wouldn't; it carries the death penalty.
It carries the death penalty everywhere. In Malaysia, it's just done judicially.
oops!
Make that "64-year-old"
Wet rattan cane bump.
I was not aware of this, thanks.
Make that a 3 year old : )
"Sorry, but anyone who takes this is too stupid to live."
Ecstacy will also do a pretty decent job of blowtorching one's brain cells.
He was probably too fried to know he had 31 doses in his house.
Singapore and Indonesia as well.
IF/once the case goes public...
States not sates. Sorry!
I was speaking allegorically. I meant it was very dangerous to those who use it.
That's a sad statement but true.
We have become a "permissive" society. It's ALL OK, it's just another "lifestyle".
"He was probably too fried to know he had 31 doses in his house."
No doubt : )
