I remember seeing a sign the first time I went to Thailand (quite a few years ago now), right outside Don Mueang International Airport. It was in Thai, but my wife translated it:
"If you bring illegal drugs into Thailand, we will shoot you".
Things have changed somewhat. You no longer get shot if you play around with illegal drugs in Thailand, but they WILL sentence you to quite a few years locked up as a guest of the Thai government. And it is hardly a resort. Anyone here watch the movie "Brokedown Palace"? Pretty realistic.
In light of that, nine years doesn't seem so bad.
