Police in Patong, led by Police Colonel Chalermchai Hoernsawat and Deputy Police Superintendent Police Lieutenant Colonel Narubodin Phangleesen, arrested a 29-year-old German man at a hotel on Prachanukhro Road in Patong, Kathu District, Phuket

 

The arrest was conducted by a special task force headed by Police Lieutenant Colonel Sinchai Sukhi, who, along with the Patong Police investigation unit, detained the suspect. The man was found to have overstayed his visa in Thailand and was in possession of drug paraphernalia. 


Following the arrest, authorities conducted a urine test on the suspect at Patong Hospital, which tested positive for methamphetamine, a Class 1 controlled substance in Thailand. Consequently, he was charged with the illegal use of methamphetamine and for violating immigration regulations by overstaying his permitted time in the country. 

 

The suspect and evidence were subsequently handed over to Patong Police Station’s investigators for further legal proceedings. Local authorities in Phuket are continuing to monitor and address issues of drug use and overstaying foreign tourists in an effort to maintain safety and compliance with Thai law, reported Matichon Online.
