I have been to Thailand and read books on people who have been to Thai prisons, if I ever considered smuggling drugs the absolute last place would be to or from Thailand.
Try Malaysia or. Phillipines
@Joel not always
@Joel deaths is better than being in prison in sea

@@gmeme9252 I read a book about a British guy locked up in the Dragon(prison) in Bangkok for drugs and the things he mentioned were worse than any hell I could imagine, people had cockroaches literally eating them alive while they slept and prisoners who didn’t listen or complained spend days up to their necks in a pool of human fecal matter.The books name is -The damage done
We would like to congratulate drugs, for winning the war on drugs
vice ..
haha was gonna say

How is it edgy? Its factual.
The undisputed Champ.
So sad to see this, I love Thailand and hope everyone live in peace
61 billion dollars a year?! That's a whole lot of people not sleeping very much. Wowzers!
I have been in Thailand many times and it's scary how many people are using crystal meth / yaba in Thailand
Sky news doing proper journalism👌🙏
Do they deliver to 🇬🇧 ?
That’s methed up!
"1 tablet cost a penny to make"
dear god we've screwed this up royally as a species.
An honest report by the recovering does help greatly for others like me to stay sincere and sober. God bless and help the victims.
Myanmar Military is responsible for making meths
the view is really cool
At this point people just have to understand that the drug business is just as important as normal businesses to the economy.
Finally someone else knows this.
And make the whole population become zombies. Wonderful. Be the president!
I sorta think the whole world lost this battle
God bless Thailand.
Good content... but terrible volume level... difficult to understand!
And they say New York is the city that never sleeps... Well, with a total of 61 billion dollars a year being trafficked/consumed; I beg to differ NY NY, I beg to differ.
The war on drugs is lost by corruption and greed

Does the dude really still have his cap on his optics, and he’s pretending to use it??? 😂😂😂
At least their senator, mayors, generals and police and even chairman of a small place are not in dealing drugs like in Philippines. Respect to Thailand for it.
Real journalism.
This caught my eye i am glad I watched it but as others said dont take drugs
I been to Thailand but I never see anyone using it
Pointless
The land seems so fertile and beautiful , farm the land and feed your family,
drugs are destructive
Your attitude to drugs is uneducated and destructive
many of the areas around the golden triangle (inside of Thailand) were used to grow opium. The late King of Thailand helped the hill tribe people replace the opium by growing things like tea and coffee instead. So it has changed a lot over the past 30 years. but the smuggling still remains a problems.

This is an insightful informative piece. Despite the drug issue that has been increasingly severe in recent years, this kind of coverage is rare in Thailand. It is a deep rooted problem that flourished because of corruption in this country. While authorities work as hard as they can, we all know that they can still sell these things because it goes to the top of our bureaucratic system.
if u use illegal drugs u hurt ur self and ur loves someday ur love hurt so much because u become addicted so sad 😭😭

Meth is made from chemicals used to clean your kitchen.
@@friendlyzombie1460 yes but just because certain chemicals are used to synthesis the drug does not mean that in the final product has those chemicals in it. 🇭🇲
I smoked Yaba in thailand, worst experience of my life, thought someone was trying to murder me, ended up flying to dubai and being arrested there lol
Stop messing with stimulants
looool
Walter White didn’t die... he just moved to Thailand
The war on drugs has been going on for like 50 years and there's more drugs on the streets than ever before! All that money wasted when it could have gone to the people and would likely have put a huge dent in drug sales if people weren't full of constant worry that they felt like they need to take drugs to escape the horrible reality they are forced to live in because of the 1%
Great comment.
How much are they expecting that prisoner to make from card reading?
She wouldn't be touching my truck 😂
What's to be bitter about? This biggest drug operation on Thailand was after all owned by the official themselve. Hell, Even the vice president of the Agriculture ministry once being arrested in Australia because of drug. And worst, Most of these big meth operation are endorse by the "Main man" of the country or in other word, The King himself too. So I see no point for being pretense about all of these more than a farce from the official themself at all.
Why would the longest standing richest royal family in the world go into drugs ??? Sure getting family nice contracts etc but a 80 billion dollar family cares less about meth. And remember how many dealers the king had shot in the 90s ??
@@mattjohnson3646 And judge by his public image of late, I am not so surprise if he's going to snort some nose candy or shoot up some meth himself.
When your neighbors are drug producers.
What the hell is going on.
3:19 she literally said in the Glovebox 😂😂😂
Quite possibly the dumbest comment from a reporter 😆
@@elmo319 exactly
How very sad beautiful Thailand a place I have very fond memories of just so very sad.
Should run a similar documentary on alcohol. Oh wait 😂
Wish meth was that price in Australia
Too bloody right. Sometimes $90 for a freaking point mate. And it's garbage too that's the worst part. 👍🏻🇭🇲
Even fugitive PM -Thaksin also got large benefits from meth trade, but he just pretended to go war with other smugglers, so everyone would recognize him as real fighter
actually no. that’s another conspiracy theory- The reason why he got so many enemies is because he went to war with them and there are so many deep rooted corrupt people in government or influential positions who are in the drug / prostitution trade.
Cold turkey dosen't work for most.
Yaba is practically cheaper than import cigaratte.
40 bath for one pill i heard.
Legalize and regulate it.
Absolutely. Yes. 🇭🇲
This isn't Hashish were talking about here.
That guy in the beginning with the binoculars 😂😂😂😂
The devil's dandruff,we call it here in New Zealand.
Only problems the price
@@whakaoriori9366 good thing it is expensive...imagine if it was cheap...wed have way more zombies
Any links with the Myanmar current military regime to PROFIT from meth???
In 2000 it was already so easy to found some but with years it s getting worse, one of my friends died 10 years ago, yabaa means get crazy. All the hard workers used it to be awake day and night to win a bit more money. Usually Thai police execute dealer in the street..
Really, just over some speed ¿?
Philippines is really bad executing users on the spot.
@@dagdaiontach727 Philipine realy doing good job to kill drug dealer they prevent they country became shithole
@@myplaylist4959 ummm they are exciting addicts, problem with executing dealers is that a lot ofthem are doing it because they are forced, or they are just trying to feedthere family
Should see australia
I have homes and big families in thai, i see ya ba in all villages and small towns in korat, so sad
Because education is so expensive in Thailand and mostly only for the rich, theres not a lot of good job for people without education. So making money from drugs seems to be the option for most of the people.
I think if the Gov makes the education free or affordable like in the UK, there will be less drug and other criminal activities problems.
But they're smart enough to put meth together...
@@suzyqualcast6269 i doubt it’s hard to make meth

Blessings iyah greetings from Vanuatu 😃😁👍🇻🇺🇻🇺
yo hello vanuatu
Never trust Thai police Big lies
I live in Thailand and see how crazy a man can be with Yaba!
Thank Buddha there's a too-old dude with a baseball cap on back-to-front, and the film crew members are on a jolly.. 👍👍
Crazy
I can watch DW docs all day
He looks feckin well for it ffs.
I couldn't careless about meth documentaries more interested in the Opium ones about Burma and the Golden Triangle.
Same here
การรายงานข่าวการสืบสวนที่ไม่ดี 😷
Many thai drivers use yaba.
And thats a big problem.
Aroundish 70 ppl die every day in the trafic of Thailand.
Notice the Possible combination of yaba, and trafic.
God bless these men and women guarding this triangle..life is cheap when compared to drugs and money....prayers for those in the thick of it
Sorry to burst that bubble, the Thai police don't own a single helicopter, but they do have a new private business jet in police colours. Does that sound like a morally upstanding body of lawmen equipped to fight a war on drugs, or something entirely strange? Go ahead and google their jet.
doesnt work
Yaba is a curse for 🇧🇩 as well. Specially Cox’s Bazar area of the country is about to get destroyed. All the yaba come from Myanmar.
Myanmar as a neighbouring country gifted Bangladesh with yaba and millions of Rohingya refugees.
Coxs Bazaar just got burned
To put that amount in perspective. Thats roughly what medicare pays for part D coverage
PM Prayut Must focus on this problem instead of beating young peaceful protesters in the capital...
😢
well if yah knew who is the real Pablo escobar of Bangkok thailand... .. .... speechless
One of the only professional reports that have ever reported on sky new , to be quite honest what ever sky news says is always had some UAE 🇦🇪 government propaganda but y’all did good good on this one ☝️ I’ll give ya that
UAE 🤮
Still believe the propaganda without question? That's unfortunate. Ever wondered why there's so much money and yet so few real victims? They use scary trigger words, but they only show some hapless prisoners and ONE white guy who can't hold his own dose. Anyone can see their lies don't add up, they're not even hiding the figures. It's total bs that meth is"deadly". Deadlier than what, alcohol? If meth were sold like alcohol it would be even safer. The danger is in the unregulated supply.
Sensalionist crap
One second they say it's so cheap it's practically free
The next oh it is worth millions
Yaa baa is cooked in the Shan state and sent via Mae Sai . They usually put some in a small van and tip off Thai Tamruat (police). Then some poor Burmese are caught and a big truck follows. The Yaa Baa gets through.
A familiar modus operandi used in drug smuggling; setup a decoy (unbeknown to the smuggler) so the real shipment can get threw.
Yaba?!?
As in...
Yaba-daba-do..!?
Was Fred on the ice.?
Mmmmmmm... that sweet ahabu shabu
DESSIS WOT THEY BE CARING IN THE BODY., I Feely sorry for the life how was foster to used drugs,

This drug sounds perfect for me are there places that I can buy there in Thailand? Which bar or club is best to pick up from? What are prices like?

Golden Triangle: Thailand, Myanmar & Laos.
John's real name is dazza
she's in jail for 10 years because she had 400 tablets worth 1 cent each. what the f is the point of that?
Easy to put the peasants in jail who take the risk of smuggling rather than the military, politicians and police who are the real players.
dont know about u guys but am still getting over the tea drug, which uk went to war over with china a long time ago am still alive and kicking with teat bags in my system lol
Started with opium. They just drove west for refreshments
In this video clip this man wearing black T - shirt said he used 5 thousands pounds on drugs in Thailand . He is telling lies .
I thought he was full of s**t too.
That is why here in the Philippines we love Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
man im in brasil and i love that man also lolol hes badazz..
Roughly 25 years old news story...it was widely sold in the open years ago..not anymore.
Been lookn have ya?
In my state it's called WY means world is yours
Haha, she failed to spot the cannabis plant she was almost holding early in this piece. Legalize it all and use the taxes for good.
War on drugs. Failed
Ice was prevalent in Hong Kong in the 1980s and my Buddha the Filipino shaboo issue for a much higher populis is being put behind this ??
Ok! what about Thai King? Inside his place police need to find out also!
We had the Bermuda Triangle, now we have the Golden Triangle. So I suppose all places with the word Triangle are dangerous and should be avoided.
funny u.say that im.in the mineral triangle in brasil also a violente area because of the diamond and rare rock mining
Precursors from China! Private armies in Myanmar. End of story. No end to this
Myanmar is funded by Beijing
I don't know what else Myanmar exports other than Yaba.
There is a part of Myanmar occupied by many Chinese, and these Chinese are doing all kind of illegal deals, there is a general there, very rich. They are dealing with drugs too, and casinos.
John, the recovering addict is wearing his mask inside out
The mask doesn't work, find any scientific evidence to prove it works, and that it doesn't do more bad than good
The Golden Triangle of the world. The highest illegal affair that three countries share.
start by CIA
Her mask is redundant
Nam keng ... horrible drug ... who wants to be awake for weeks and weeks
Iv done yaba 5 times at full moon parties. It was brilliant. Never got addicted. But had to stop a few years ago as a German tourist bought some from an undercover police. We didn’t see him again
So nice to be rich
& far away from this
Only when i wish to buy stolen art i venture into hell of hastings
We all know your broke and addicted, sit down and shut up
