Immigration police raided a restaurant on Koh Samui and arrested two Lebanese nationals, after discovering a stash of narcotics, bulletproof vest and unusual medical equipment hidden inside a safe.

 

The raid took place at Buffalo Jungle Restaurant in Maret subdistrict, Koh Samui, under a search warrant issued by the Koh Samui Provincial Court. The operation was led by Pol Lt Gen Panumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, together with senior officers from the Surat Thani Immigration Division.

 

The suspects were identified as Mr. Ehab Awara, 38 and Mr. Chady Raiden, 28, both Lebanese citizens. Officers seized multiple categories of illicit drugs, including ecstasy, methamphetamine, ketamine, cocaine and psilocybin mushrooms. Other items confiscated included small plastic bags, a digital scale and  a bulletproof vest (classified as controlled military equipment).

 

The search expanded to other rooms within the Buffalo Jungle restaurant complex, where officers discovered a large safe in a two-story building across from the main restaurant. Inside the safe, police found acupuncture needles, boxes, glass cups and vacuum cylinders used for cupping therapy treatments.

 

Mr. Awara claimed to be a licensed doctor from abroad, asserting his qualifications to perform acupuncture and cupping therapy on tourists. However, authorities confiscated the medical equipment as evidence while investigating his credentials

 

Initial urine testing revealed that Mr. Raiden tested positive for drug use and admitted to having taken narcotics the previous day. Mr. Awara, however, refused to provide a sample and was charged with disobeying an order issued by the Narcotics Control Board, in addition to other offences.

 

The two men are now in custody pending further investigation and legal proceedings.

Good, let them sit in jail until they have money for transport home; then deport them.

when in fact he was just a licensed idiot

They both should get five years each for having those haircuts

By looking at the photo the Police had an easy job with these two.  Practically blinking strobe light saying look at me.

 

Seems like endless supply of criminals who have it all figured out.  That there is no way the Police would suspect them of mischief.  Dunning-Kruger effect probably.  

Lebos cause mayhem in Australia control all drug imports & distribution SCUMBAGS

I'm not a world traveler like many here met only a few back home MidEasten here now two decades have met more In General living here attitude, entitle, seem to have a screw loose in them?🤔

Firstly their barber needs shooting, and secondly this pair needs some serious jail time. They have obviously never heard of living under the radar.

Couldn't they just open a Lebanese restaurant like the rest of them? what with this Mohawk haircut' they would have made a killing.

Tattoos!

 

That Cossack haircut!

 

Throw the bums out forever.

They look like the high quality tourists that TAT always talking about🤣

They could have opened a really good Lebanese restaurant with some Belly dancers, Just like being in downtown Beirut back in the 70's.

Trust me I 'm a doctor, look I have tattoo to prove it.

Scumbags ! Just look at their appearance ! Don't let these kind of dicks into the country ! 

I am afraid Thailand is encouraging quality Tourists  like these 2 to come and 

Do what they do

Should be arrested and deported for their haircuts alone 😱

That's a slippery slope blocking people out because of their appearance.

 

Oddly, a lot of guys who look like that are not criminals. 

 

Anyone need acupucunture for half price? 

Dark alley with these guys.

Tattoos & Mohawks? More quality tourists? Should have been denied entry at the airport. And sent home on the 1st available flight..

Its a bit like when you wander into a bar and most farang can spot the gangsta/trouble maker/redneck/bogan the instant one steps in the door but Thais seem to struggle to tell the difference. I mean look at those blokes and one of them claiming to be a Doctor back home. A doctor of what? love? 🙂 

 

Wonder why the Thais are cracking down on Visas and Banking lately....here is a prime example of the impact on the Quality Tourists in the Land of Smiles.

 

These boys will go through TRT issues in prison.  F-ing More Runs.
