A 25-year-old man in Pattaya had an unfortunate turn of events early morning on November 23. After being assaulted by two assailants, he was found in possession of crystal methamphetamine and promptly arrested by police.

 

At 02:45 the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Centre received a report of a man injured in an assault in Soi Ko Phai, Pattaya, Bang Lamung District. Rescue volunteers rushed to the scene, where they found Thanadol Numcharoen, 25, with a head wound, a lacerated eyebrow, swollen eyes, and bruises across his body.

 

While providing first aid, rescue workers noticed Thanadol acting suspiciously. He was seen making phone calls, urging someone to quickly pick up “the goods” because he had been attacked. This prompted the rescue team to notify Pattaya police, who arrived and discovered seven small plastic zip-lock bags containing crystal methamphetamine in his possession.

 

During questioning, Thanadol admitted he was delivering the drugs to a regular customer named “Aood Ko Phai.” He revealed that he had made multiple transactions with this client in the past. On this occasion, however, while riding his motorcycle to the delivery point, he was ambushed by two unknown assailants and sustained injuries.

 

When asked about the price of the drugs, Thanadol responded incoherently, stating he “needed a clearer mind” to remember the details. He even shared messages from his Line app, showing his drug-dealing conversations with customers, as evidence.

 

Police and rescue workers escorted Thanadol to a nearby hospital for treatment. Afterward, he was detained, along with the confiscated drugs, and handed over to investigators for further legal action.

 

Witnesses and rescue workers at the scene were quick to comment on Thanadol’s misfortune. They described his predicament as “double bad luck”, first being assaulted and then being arrested with illegal drugs.
