it is not 100% correct - i followed this story.
that he makes money with coffeeshops is not the reason why he is jailed.
he was jailed for money laundering (i know thatīs funny)
even when the coffeeshops in NL are legal, the money what comes from (for thais it is drug money) it is illegal in thailand.
as soon as you bring and change such money in thailand it is "money laundering".
AND out of that the thai police was following a letter
from a Dutch embassy worker, informing the authorities he had earned his money selling marijuana and requesting a criminal investigation.
