An ex-British soldier has been jailed for 50 years in Thailand for drug dealing.
Lance Whitmore, 27, was arrested with an Australian friend in the beach resort Pattaya, where the pair were found to have 200 ecstasy pills on them.
He was told he would receive no parole on the heavy sentence, meaning he will be 77 years old when he is released from prison.
After police first arrested Whitmore 10 months ago they immediately searched his friend’s flat, where they found another 60 pills.
He spent three days shackled in a ‘safe house’ before being sent to the infamous Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok, sometimes known as the ‘Bangkok Hilton’.
