    Yaba Drug The bitter end of an era

    By admin | October 24, 2009

    Just a few days ago,
    the Chiang Mai police raided our house
    and brought a bitter end of an era,
    because our senior photographer Tee
    became a Yaba drug trafficker.
    He was stupid enough to sell the, in Thailand highly forbidden,
    drug Yaba (Yah Bah) to a secret policeman
    and got caught. Yah Bah is a poisonous mixture
    of amphetamine, caffeine and other substances.
    The drug has also a high content of mercury.
    Now Tee will have to face a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
    Our remaining team is still shocked,
    we didn´t had any suspicion, that he would do something like that.
    He put us all at a very high risk.
    Fortunatly the police didn´t find drugs in our house,
    if they had found, we would be all in prison.

    But that was just the top of the iceberg.
    Tee has stolen a lot of money and sold all our lenses and filters,
    he sold his motorbike and another one
    was confiscated by the police,
    because it was used for a crime.
    Tee´s friend, as we know now,
    a drug addict, has stolen a digital camera
    and a new notebook.

    Our team is very sad now,
    first we lost a good friend,
    a good photographer and teacher,
    but also we lost a lot of equipment
    and money, which brought us a complete production stop.
    We still have a few stories and images in the pipeline,
    but the clouds are very dark for us at this time.
