Abstract
Narcotics problem is one of the critical problems in Thailand, which causes
social problems, economic problems and quality of life of the people. The number of
cases and quantity of illicit drugs seized has been increasing over the past decades. At
present, narcotics issue has become even more complicated because of the social
change, and globalization which allow more foreigners to come to Thailand. African
drug syndicates become greater problem to Thai society nowadays, as the growing
number of cases, number of Thai and Asian women were used and arrested. Thai
authorities found difficulties in coping with the African drug syndicate for many
reasons such as the method African drug syndicate uses is very complicated and new
to most of Thai authorities who normally deal with South East Asian drug traffickers.
This dissertation aims to learn why African drug syndicates choose to operate
in Thailand and what are African drug syndicates operational patterns, so that we can
come up with the proper policy to deal with African drug syndicates in Thailand. This
study will cover the interview of African drug dealers, and narcotics suppression
agencies, both Thais and foreigners. This study will not cover the case of possess
illicit drugs and consuming illicit drugs as the main focuses is on the drug trafficking
level. The information in this research contains statement of the suspects, arrest report
and other details from government agencies, which some cases still on the court
process so writer have to cover some identity and information due to legal and rights
issue.
