At 1:30 AM on December 8th, 2024, Thonglor police raided a drug-fueled party involving over 120 individuals, both Thais and foreigners, at a luxury hotel in Bangkok’s Watthana district.
Pol. Col. Pansa Amornapitak, Thonglor police chief, revealed that a tip-off on December 6th reported a planned party with drug activities. Authorities conducted surveillance and launched the raid after noticing a large gathering in a hotel room on Sukhumvit Soi 31.
According to Pol. Col. Pansa, the attendees, mostly Thai and foreign male tourists, were reportedly part of an LGBTQ+ group. Initial searches reportedly uncovered ecstasy and ketamine at the scene. All participants were detained, including two to three women.
Investigations revealed the event required pre-registration through a secret online group, with identity verification by group administrators. Undercover agents attempted to join but were denied access, leading to the raid.
Initially, Bangkok authorities are conducting drug tests on all detainees and preparing charges. The evidence and suspects have been transferred to Thonglor Police Station for further legal action.
