A guard is seen from a distance in a prison.The appeal court in Koh Samui heard the matter of 23-year-old Ashley Oosthuizen.Oosthuizen was teaching English in the country before working at a restaurant that her boyfriend, an alleged drug trafficker, owned.

Dirco spokesperson Clayson Monyela said the department as well as the South African embassy in Bangkok are providing Oosthuizen and her family with consular assistance. In social media posts, her friends and family claim Ashley was wrongly imprisoned, and instead her boyfriend at the time, who allegedly fled Thailand and is back in his home country of the United States, should be in prison.

Do the crime,do the time. SA should learn from other countries.

Sad story. Hope she wl be acquitted? Why isn't the boyfriend extradited to Thailand? But it raises another issue - why doesn't SA sign prisoner transfer agreements with other countries so that SA citizens who are imprisoned abroad are transferred to serve their sentences in SA?

People don’t learn their lessons with Thailand.
