Russian Drug Ring Dismantled in Phuket Temple Raid

Thai police arrested several Russian nationals involved in drug trafficking during a raid near a temple in Phuket known locally as a “mushroom temple.” Officers seized narcotics and other evidence while detaining the suspects. The operation was part of an ongoing effort to crack down on illegal drug distribution networks on the island. Law enforcement said the suspects will face multiple charges, including possession and dealing of controlled substances. The bust sends a message about Thailand’s commitment to curbing foreign-linked crime.
