A British backpacker is facing life in prison after he was arrested for selling drugs on a Thai paradise island.
Andrew John Brett, 36, had allegedly been peddling ecstasy and LSD to other tourists at the Ecco Bar on Koh Tao island in the southern province of Surat Thani.
Police launched an investigation following a tip-off from a concerned patron that the Brit was distributing drugs at the bar.
They tracked his activities for five months and finally arrested him on his way to the establishment on February 29.
Officers allegedly found 0.54 grams of ecstasy in a plastic bag, 25 ecstasy pills, and 75 LSD sheets, known locally as ‘magic paper’, among his belongings.
