Two Malaysians among nine nabbed at drug-fuelled party in Bangkok

BANGKOK – Thai police arrested nine foreign nationals, including two Malaysians, at a drug-fuelled party at a luxury house in Bangkok’s Saphan Sung district.

According to the Bangkok Post, five Chinese (three men and two women), one Vietnamese man and a man from Myanmar were also arrested in the raid on Friday afternoon.

Bang Chan police chief, Siwat Sriwichai, said police conducted a raid on the luxury house after receiving complaints from residents of loud music being played from the house.

“Police found ketamine in a fruit tray, 24 tablets of Erimin 5 (Nimetazepam), and a pistol loaded with eight rounds of ammunition,” he said as quoted by the Bangkok Post.

All the suspects were charged with conspiring to possess Category 2 drugs, a weapon, and ammunition. – Bernama, August 13, 2023
