Socialite handed jail term for drug possession

The Criminal Court Friday sentenced socialite Kan-anek Pachimsawat to two years and nine months in jail for drug possession.

He was also fined Bt200,000. 
Kan-anek is free on Bt350,000 bail. He plans to appeal the verdict. 
Police arrested Kan-anek on February 12 last year for having 0.67 grams of crystal methamphetamine in possession. 
The court found solid evidence against him and found no grounds to suspend the jail term.
