The story as I was told is, my friend's fiance was charged even though the drug was not on her possession. The girl she was giving a lift to, on her motorbike had a small amount on her (personal use). But the girl (finance of my friend) was charged (because it was her motorbike) and given 2 years, which turned into 6 months and without serving any time at all, she was released on her own with two years probation (this is as I understand it) because his fiance had no record and her record has been clean since. Supposedly this incident happened 7 years ago. It was a small personal amount of whatever speed was available in Thailand at the time. OF course, I may not be relaying the story accurately because of the language barrier and don't have more than this snapshot of the facts relayed in broken english. IF his finance was to wait another 3 years, supposedly after 10 years, your record is wiped clean. Another story going around Thailand, is that with the  installation of the new king, any minor offenses will be wiped clean in the New Year. Of course, this is Thailand and with the current state of affairs, especially with immigration in America, I told him, he had better look to move to Thailand if he wants to marry her, because I doubt she is ever going to get an American K1 Visa

Playing cards and driving around with narcotics are two different things.

 

What matters is what type of narcotics and what was the exact charge of the girlfriend?

 

Good luck 

Thank you ....

 

In thailand, you can get arrested for playing cards at a friends house. I have a friend that is applying for K1 visa whose girlfriend 6 years ago was driving a motor bike and pulled over. Her friend had a small quantity of drugs on her, but they were both arrested. From what I read, this is an immediate denial. Any information someone dealing with the same issue or resources I can pass on to my friend? thanks in advance.
