Bangkok police arrested five individuals during a drug-fueled party at a luxury condominium in Din Daeng on July 26. Among those arrested was 30-year-old Nuntawadee, who is alleged to be the central figure in an online narcotics distribution network. The operation revealed not only recreational drug use but also the production and sale of psychoactive substances through social media.
Authorities were tipped off about a birthday party at the upscale condo that was allegedly doubling as a drug party. Responding officers, assisted by the condominium’s management, entered the unit and found five people engaged in drug use, with paraphernalia visibly placed on a table.
Upon searching the premises, police uncovered a substantial cache of equipment used for drug mixing and distribution. Confiscated items included 25 chemical mixers, 92 bottles of flavoring agents, 26 plastic syringes, a substance mixing machine, and numerous chemical containers. These materials were reportedly used to produce liquid drug concoctions, including ketamine-infused e-cigarette solutions.
Additional seized items included 13 mobile phones, a gas tank containing nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and three drug-consumption devices. As for the drugs themselves, police confiscated 2.2 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, 14 ecstasy pills, 0.8 grammes of MDMA, and over 20 grammes of other psychoactive substances.
The arrested individuals were identified as 43-year-old Attapong, 26-year-old Thakul, 45-year-old Anuwat, and 44-year-old Anusak. All suspects were taken to Sutthisan Police Station for drug testing, which returned positive results.
Investigators revealed that Nuntawadee owned the drug-mixing equipment and operated a group via the Line messaging app. Through this platform, she reportedly marketed and sold illegal electronic cigarettes laced with drugs. She also admitted to organizing the party and inviting friends, where drug use was both facilitated and encouraged.
The group now faces multiple charges including the production, possession, and distribution of psychoactive substances, specifically the mixing of ketamine with vaping liquids. Additional charges involve the unauthorized possession of methamphetamine, ecstasy, and ketamine, as well as psilocybin mushrooms—commonly known as magic mushrooms.
Moreover, they were charged with violating consumer protection board regulations prohibiting the sale of baraku, electric baraku (hookahs), and electronic cigarettes, all of which are illegal under Thai law.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the online network used by Nuntawadee and plan to trace her clients and suppliers. The case remains under the jurisdiction of the Sutthisan Police Station, where evidence is being compiled for prosecution.
The bust highlights growing concerns about the intersection of luxury lifestyles and digital platforms in facilitating drug distribution. Police have pledged to continue targeting online drug networks and ensuring that illegal substances do not penetrate Bangkok’s upscale communities.
