Man anyone crazy enough to traffic illegal narcotics in a foreign country where you have no rights....that kind of stupidity deserves punishment.
Seriously, meth absolutely wrecks people's lives.
It’s hearsay it can be anyone they can put the blame on remember money is corruption everyone gets bought out. Especially police
Tell that to Biden. Mexicans are killing Americans all day long, lacing things with Fentanyl
I think a death sentence is too harsh though. Perhaps 10 to 20 years in prison would be more acceptable.
Edit: however if murder was involved I would say life in prison is acceptable
@@neutechnica I think it is overrated anyway. There's hidden darkness with evil that does need true light.
That said- I can see why others sometimes find certain benefits to various stuff.. the stuff wouldn't sell if it didn't work so well! Hmm...
The father saying his son is innocent, the way his son was living....he owned 3 condos, houses, hotel, bar, yatch, csars and bikes, not just regular cars and bikes but high end vehicles.....how did his son afford his lifestyle, i know Thailand is cheap compared to Australia but still from the picture's, those things are still expensive even in Thailand.
More expensive in Thailand cars here are +300% tax so anymore sports/super cars even normal Mercedes Benz or a BMW is 300% more than what you would pay let’s say in Germany or the US
exactly
@@187_forlife5 yup, Same in China. all imported merchandise are expensive, Luxury cars are far more expensive than what we pay here.
He might have been involved in that human trafficking ring with Paul. Also a good chance there was some prostitution going on in his businesses.
Those things cost more in Thailand than Australia. Lol
Great video. It always shocks me when foreigners continue to break asian drug laws, knowing how severe they are.
Greed is very strong.
IKR
People think they are exceptional or invincible ,its like a driver driving like crazy ,he knows people get into fatal accidents but still do it
I can't believe cannabis is legal in Thailand now whilst still being illegal in a free country like Australia.
Typical arrogant foreigners who feel their above the law. Welcome to Thailand.
Wake up Daddy , yacht's , hotels Ferrari ???? Give me a break
So you say somebody can't be profitable or wealthy in that country and not be suspected of drug dealing? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?
😂 the guy and his wife have some very colourful associates. However, if you think owning a tiny flea-ridden hotel, bar and masseur parlour in low-price Thailand can make you millions in US dollars good luck to you. There is a good reason that these come-and-go establishments can be bought for a song.
Full denial - lies for his son.
@@mrroman3862are you suggesting this couple have all these associations with dubious characters but they are all above board themselves??
Why does Cook’s father think his son should receive special treatment? Nope, the son broke the law, he should be treated exactly the same as a local!
Exactly I saw one of his interview. He said, "My son shouldn't have to deal with that sentence. He's an Australian Citizen" Well Sir, he did the Crime in Thailand so he can do the Time there too. foh
Thai police and government are corrupt. Cook was obviously doing very well owning 3 businesses, dealing in the underworld but nothing the police could pin on him. No reason to smuggle drugs into Thailand especially across the ocean. All his property seized! I wonder where that ended up?
did you guys finish the video?@@StillJustD
I agree with you, if it had been someone else’s son he’d be saying exactly the same has you or I have said, okay I don’t agree with the death penalty in any country but, if that’s their law and you break it then you will receive the same punishment as the locals of that country, our government in the UK have said in no uncertain terms, if you go to any country and you break that countries laws, don’t expect us to help you because we won’t, unfortunately it is what it is.
I believe Luke was set up.
Don't deal drugs in SE Asia. It never ends well.

I don't know all that- don't want to see bloody death all the time, but I always try to refrain from judging people for their lives and choices.

I see why Indonesia executes their drug traders from Australia otherwise they will find all kinds of ways to not pay for their crimes. At Bali there are signs at the airports, bringing in drugs is a death sentence!!
Indonesia is a shithole.

Someone made a lot of cash getting them free from jail and overturned the verdict.

You did a fantastic job with info!
I don’t have sympathy for Australians (I’m Australian) who go to these countries and do some of the dumbest s##t they KNOW will get them the death penalty!!
It’s awful that these third world countries having to put up with arrogant, obnoxious and dangerous foreigners coming over and just causing trouble and wreaking havoc, when they KNOW the laws and how they say it is to be locked away if you even touch drugs over there.. 🙄.

Used to watch those series locked up abroad / banged up abroad
Do the crime do the time! Everyone here in Australia is warned about the South East Asian law's regarding drugs and we watched as two of the Bali nine were executed for drug trafficking, why would anyone be surprised or upset over these law's and punishments!

There should be harder sentences for drug dealers! They have destroyed so many families for so long and all for their greed of money

@@1020player If they do, it’s their problem, not someone else’s!!
I live here, Thailand. My observation regarding Thai Police is that they are generally quite OK. In my experience, much more approachable and reasonable than NZ police.
Yet you can't pay off NZ police the way you can with Thai police
@Henry is simply looking naively on the surface ....
@@Matt-us1gt you can. Just takes more $$$ and higher connections
@@Matt-us1gtI would say you can’t. It just depends on how much you’re willing to pay them.
The reason why Thai police seem so gullible is due to their realities earning powers. Give the NZ police a under table bribe of several million dollars and I bet they’d drop everything.

In Malaysia it's automatic death penalty without any courts involvement. Warning signs about drugs smuggling are everywhere.
And it works .. good on Malaysia
Same with Singapore.. they won't take no shit from anyone.
@@geraldmcdevitt3996
Most definitely.
This should also be the same consequence for crimes against children and human trafficking. Pretty odd that seems to go on alot in these countries without much attention on it as drugs are.
Religious nutjob places are like that.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
Great video. Thats why people need to obey the law of each and every country. I feel sorry for all the people involved. I have been to Thailand many times. Beautiful country. Peace and love from Maldives.
Great video. Very interesting and well-edited. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
If you go to other country and break the law there then you are subject to whatever punishment that country may have. Just keep yourself out of trouble! Do not trust or rely in anybody cause as a foreigner always everything will be against you. Again, stay out of trouble and that means even the appearance of any illegal stuff.
Yeah, basketball player flies into Russia with “weed vapes”, and gets arrested for dope smuggling. Then gets to fly home, free as a bird. It’s not fair for the people that have to serve the time for the same crime, that don’t have government help to get out. Unbelievable…

all drug traffickers are family men until they get caught. let them all rot in prison.
They also "love" their moms.
@@bigradwolf5001 and they love to hide behind the Church. I knew a drug trafficker attached to one of the largest cartels in the world back in the 80’s. He was a total Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde who “loved” his mom and use the loverboy scam to entice poor local women and later turn them into his employees. He also would go to Church every Sunday and preach GOD in efforts to convince people he was some type of saint when, in reality, he was the living incarnation of the devil.
Please don't do drugs in Thailand, Southeast Asia, at home, or anywhere else.

The only way to get out of all responsibility of murder in Thailand (even a policeman) is to be the grandson of the founder of Red Bull.
Also..
Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya has not been extradited back to Thailand, in part because he is believed to be living in a foreign country that does not have an extradition treaty with Thailand. Extradition is a legal process that requires the cooperation of two countries, and without an agreement in place, it can be difficult or impossible to bring a suspect back to face trial. Additionally, even in cases where an extradition treaty exists, the country where the suspect is residing may have legal or procedural barriers that prevent their extradition. In Yoovidhya's case, it is unclear what specific factors may be blocking his extradition, but it is likely to involve a combination of legal, diplomatic, and political considerations.
Agreed. If you want to do drugs go to Colombia like a normal person.
I would not live in Thailand for anything!! 😂🤣
@@PierreDelecto576 Go to Amsterdam, like a normal person.
This Cook guy seems to have acquired considerable wealth in a short period of time. This tells me he was involved in the drug business. Shame the witness was deemed unreliable because of his involvement in other criminal activity. It doesn't mean he wasn't telling the truth on this occasion
I have no sympathy for drug dealers like Cook. I hope the confiscated wealth stayed in Thailand and was put to good use. And this dumping of drugs into waters where they harm marine life.
Don't FA around in foreign countries and expect the same treatment as your home country. End of story.
500 kg is like 10 50kg cement bags. If there really were that much, that means the Police hoarded the 9 bags.
Cement comes in 20kg bags and they are heavy enough …
No explanaition of how that heavy load was going to be shipped into Australia.
Real math whizz over here
Great video. But clear as day they bought their way out. You don’t go from death row to freedom that fast in Thailand without paying.
Of course. Money rules everything
Yep, get anything in Thailand for money
The only thing I learned is that you can murder someone in Thailand and completely get away with it if you cooperate with the investigation. Ridiculous
Or if your circle of friends include a policeman or two.
Money definitely exchanged
Well if this happen in the phillipines under Duarte they would be dead already , that ex president on the phillipines did not have mercy for drugs
Not completely get away, but like getting a discount on your jail time. And that's only if it's a difficult-to-investigate case that the polices need your cooperation. If it's an easy case and you got caught red hand, they don't need your cooperation and therefore no discount.
But it's like that in the US and many other countries as well though.
This is already happening in the Philippines. Just like Paul Le Roux's case who was hiding in the posh village in Makati. I'm certain that many criminals have been hiding and bought properties in the Philippines tourist spots like Bohol, Boracay, Palawan, Siargao, in connivance with the provincial filipinas who were mostly bisaya.
At minute 9.00 I love how the 2 Cambodian cops arrested the hit man, carted him away by sandwiching him on their motorbike.
It is not the drugs, that is the killer, it is the money that is involved. Drugs play a part in the promise of a better life. People do not know the consequences they involve themselves when dealing with this lifestyle. Stay away, best option.
Hog shit. You don't go from zero kg of crystal to 50-500kg. How many kids took their first hit off this guys efforts? Drugs ruin people and this guy is responsible for contributing to the problem. Smuggling them into a country where it is illegal deserves the full extent of the law. Thailands consequences are very clear.
drug offenses mean death penalty in Thailand. Foreigners don't realize this.
Do not know the consequences? They know but think they will never get caught!
Saying Drugs don't Kill people is Probably top 3 Ignorant statements a Human Being can make... Along With :
• Water is NOT wet
• The Sun does NOT Shine.
• Drugs do NOT Kill.
"People do not know the consequences" - Living under a rock
So, a sailboat which has a top speed of maybe 10 knots was able to elude the Thai patrol boat?
Maybe the sailboat was powered by the sheer force of their fear of death row?

Honestly, I like how Thailand/Asian countries have death penalty for drug traffickers, and it is nice that they are thorough and don't just kill off random people.
Yet Pharma dealers walk free? Gimme a break!!! Biggest drug trafficking is facilitated by government officials!!!!
Same
Thailand rarely gives a death sentence to a foreigner.....
@@isanBen
They should start
I personally think the death penalty should be abolished. As a Thai person myself with some family members who got caught in unfortunate situations I'd prefer a nuanced approach and maybe even liberalization of drug laws like in western Europe or canada. The reason I say this though is what if they have the wrong guy, not because I have any sympathy for the criminal. I think there should be a level of punishment between a low level dealer vs the higher up orchestrator, just depends on person and situation.
Australians bringing all their social ills of their people and country to these poorer nations. Very sad for Thailand and the other nations.

The Thai police sounds like the Keystone cops. Your coastguard was outran by a sailboat? tf
They are corrupt as hell and get away with it, Thai justice is a bad joke.
A friend of mine was put in a Thai prison. It was horrible and the sea entered somehow. My friend was simply working in a bar. He was accused, falsely, of dealing drugs. It was simply assumed because of his skin colour that he was a dealer. Thank God he got released from the dreadful place.

Only Thais can do drugs. Foreigners need to be angels.
Not sure it was the "worst-of-the-worst" who have been executed, but often it is those who don't have anyone championing their causes who end up being executed. It's probably more the weakest of those convicted.
What was the wife's involvement. I'm not sure why she was given the death penalty

Well the case rested on a statement from an unreliable witness who basically became unreliable because of his later involvement in crime himself,but the investigation should of been targeted towards the witness background prior to getting involved in crime himself so I would say very very lucky people to have gotten a walk out.

Don’t get involved with drugs in South Asia, punishment is death.
Preponderance is a standard of evidence. Others include beyond reasonable doubt and balance of probabilities. My understanding is that preponderance of evidence sits between the two. I am not sure why the Supreme Court would use that expression. It might be that they wanted to emphasize there was a weak basis to the case.
Good documentary great detail.

Thailand doesn't play. They're trying their best to not become the Tijuana Mexico of southeast Asia even though they are but with less crime.
They started maaaaany years ago, they're doing ok fighting off that stuff, still some way to go, but it's great they left the 60s 70s image behind, much nicer now
Thailand has a tyrannical government, they aren't worried about their slaves health.
Death sentence!
The moral of the story is…
Don’t do drugs or sell drugs or touch drugs in Thailand
In some countries like Indonesia I believe that it is or was stated on your application visa that importation of illicit drugs carries the death penalty
I traveled to 22 countries over four decades with a passport.i was very aware of local laws and respected them all.i wonder how other countries would fare with similar laws.
Great.....all Criminals are Back Home Safe and Happy....
cant help but think some money was exchanged for the supreme court ruling....
If their money and property are seized by the prosecutors, how can they pay lawyers, police, prosecutors and judges? Maybe a motorcycle gang that can afford $10,000,000 for illegal drugs will help pay.
seems very fishy, the guy had a lot of money and was very wealthy, if they seized all his assets and never gave it back to him even after he was found innocent, and knowing he would leave the country for fear of another death sentence then they get to keep all his wealth
Thats Thailand for you.
Break his A$$ one way or another.. Allow him to leave Thailand as a broke Bloke..
Welcome to Thailand
You showed the number of foreigners executed but how many were arrested? How many were charged? How many were convicted.? And then show the same with the nationals.
They look guilty to me ( not that I care of they sell drugs or what they do to outlaw bikers). Where did he get his money?
Any way I think there might be a double standard. Foreigners can get away with breaking the law if they're from a country that sends a lot of tourists. And that's not fare to the Thais.
Can't judge by looks brother, very unamerican to do, this and many other cases always runs deeper, but, he summarized and shared, those numbers you ask are open and easy to look up..
@JefffromChicago Look, I don't claim to have all the answers, and I'm not here to defend or condemn anyone. The purpose of this video is to highlight the consequences of committing serious crimes in a country like Thailand, where the legal system on narcotics like "ice" is known to be strict and uncompromising.
As for your questions about how many foreigners were arrested, charged, or convicted, I don't have those numbers off the top of my head, and I think that is irrelevant to the video. However, the point of the video is that if you break the law in Thailand, you're likely to face severe punishment, regardless of your nationality.
Regarding your comment on double standards, I can't say I agree. The law applies to everyone equally, regardless of where they come from. I think it's important to remember that Thailand is a sovereign nation with its own laws and regulations, and everyone, including the locals need to respect that if we want to visit or do business here.
So let's focus on the message of the video, which is that committing crimes in Thailand is a serious matter with severe consequences. And let's all do our part to promote a safe and respectful environment for locals and visitors alike.
@JefffromChicago, I want to add that the issue of foreign nationals being held accountable for their actions is not one-sided. Just recently, a Thai citizen who fled the scene of an accident in Michigan was ordered by a top police general to be put on a plane back to the US to face federal charges. The legal system in Thailand works both ways, and people from all backgrounds, nationalities, and walks of life are expected to follow the law. aseannow.com/topic/1287383-big-joke-instrumental-in-return-of-thai-hit-and-run-driver-to-us-shell-be-met-by-fbi-in-michigan/
The case of the individuals in my video is a clear example of the consequences of breaking the law in Thailand. And as for where they got their money or their guilt or innocence, that's not for me to judge. The legal system has already done that. What we can all agree on is that the drug trade and other serious crimes have devastating effects on individuals and society as a whole. The message of the video is clear: committing crimes in Thailand is not worth the risk, and we should all do our part to promote a safe and respectful environment for everyone
the foreign country governments pull their weight with the thais and thats why you see a lot of foreigners escape the death penalty.Namely Australia..
A tough lesson to play with fire in a foreign country especially involving drugs! You are playing with your life!!!
Didn't watch your channel for months if not years and the quality of the production went up a lot!
great video.
Thailand has carried out the death sentence on foreigners for a very long time
Indeed, Thailand has carried out the death sentence on foreigners for a very long time, but it's important to remember that these sentences are generally reserved for severe crimes like treason, murder, and drug trafficking. There are 35 crimes in total that can lead to the death sentence. While it's true that the Thai justice system can be strict, it's crucial for foreigners to understand and respect the local laws to avoid facing such harsh penalties. So, as long as one doesn't engage in these serious offenses, the death sentence shouldn't be a concern.
Just a note on your sub titles....it is Australian not Austrian. Austrians come from Austria.
Thais often get the two countries mixed up.
Yeah ok, but which one has the kangaroos and those cute Koala bears?
You did good bro
Very interesting and well presented! More of these stories!👍
This is a very unfair world - when a person became rich he/she started to do evil things. Some got caught but many still doing the evil things. 🙈🙉🙊
They got away. That's sad. Somebody got paid really big. Cook and his wife were not framed BUT "somebody" framed the person that testified against them.
The income from the so called "business" like massage parlors put together aren't enough for all those exotic cars and everything that are too expensive. They don't add up.
NICE 👍🏼
Very strict in Thailand. No fool around kind. Been that way for a long time.
People complain about US law enforcement and prisons, but compared to most of the world, the US is very permissive.
