Sorry Granny, the law of the country is the law of the country. You break the law and you will be treated just as any citizen of that country. Your level in life as a granny has nothing to do with it nor does your country of citizenship. Sooooooooo many stupid people smuggling drugs thinking that the law will be lenient because they are 'special.' Only Thai amart are special!
