A British man is facing life in prison over alleged drug dealing in Thailand – the latest arrest amid a crackdown on misbehaving foreigners.
Charly Garcia, 48, from London, reportedly sold cocaine, ecstasy and other narcotics to tourists via the Telegram app. Police in Chiang Mai received a tip-off and an undercover agent allegedly arranged a meeting with the Brit at a cannabis shop pretending to buy cocaine, ketamine, magic mushrooms, LSD, and ecstasy for 110,000 baht (2,400 GBP). Upon completing the sale, police stormed in and arrested Charly.
They took him to his room at the Mountain View Condominium in the Chang Phueak subdistrict, where they reportedly found 408 grams of cocaine, 595 grams of magic mushrooms, and 160 pills of Diazepam and Alprazolam. Thirteen grams of LSD, 9.8 grams of MDMA, and ecstasy tablets were also among the alleged haul.
