Thai immigration officers have arrested a 30-year-old South Korean national in Pattaya, Chon Buri on 21 June 2026 at around 08:30 following a court-authorised search linked to online obscene material and the seizure of multiple illegal drugs. The suspect, identified only as “Louis Kim”,  is accused of posting explicit videos on the social media platform X showing sexual activity with a Thai woman. He reportedly admitted to uploading the content during initial questioning. Officers also discovered a range of narcotics inside the residence.

The operation was carried out under directives from senior police leadership, including Pol Gen Kittirat Phanphet, National Police Chief, and Pol Gen Samran Nualma, Deputy National Police Chief, who ordered intensified action against transnational crime, online offences, and drug-related activities affecting public order. Pol Lt Gen Phanumart Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, together with Pol Maj Gen Phanthana Nuchanart, instructed Immigration Division 3 to prioritise investigations into foreign nationals suspected of committing offences in Thailand.

Following these orders, Pol Maj Gen Songprot Sirisukha, Commander of Immigration Division 3, assigned Pol Col Suriya Phuangsomboon, Superintendent of the Investigation Unit, to oversee the case. The investigation team included Pol Lt Col Ithithon Prasriyasak, Pol Lt Col Thongthai Pairor, and Pol Maj Anupap Tujinda, who gathered evidence before securing a search warrant from the Pattaya Provincial Court. Officers then executed the warrant at a residential property in Pattaya, Chon Buri.

During the search, authorities seized methamphetamine (4 bags weighing 21.36 grams), ketamine (3 bags weighing 304.32 grams), 296 MDMA tablets, and 9 items of etomidate, also known locally as “pod k”. All substances were confiscated as evidence. Police stated the suspect is also facing charges for drug possession with intent to sell, alongside offences relating to the distribution of obscene material and computer-related crime.

He has been charged under the Computer Crime Act B.E. 2560 Section 14(4) for uploading obscene data accessible to the public, Section 287(1) of the Penal Code for distributing pornographic material, and under narcotics legislation for possession of Category 1 and Category 2 drugs with intent to distribute. He was taken into custody together with the seized items and transferred to investigators for further legal proceedings.

Thaitabloid reported that authorities said the investigation will be expanded to trace the origin of the seized drugs and etomidate, and to determine whether additional individuals or wider networks are involved in supply or distribution.

Another "quality tourist" making the headlines in Pattaya.

Looks like his Chemsex Fantasy cum undone.

Enjoy your new fish head soup diet where you're going bud!!

Naughty, naughty! Daddy will spank!

Only a small towel was needed.

Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Party ended for this guy.

I hope he realizes that he will now be with some tough guys, who will make vids of him getting railed in prison. And, they should make sure he enjoys it.

That's when he knew he methed up.

Sounds to me like a dope dealer got caught by the cybercrime unit for uploading his own sex acts with a willing participant. That's what got him undone.

What's would be interesting is the meaning of all those tattoos--gang-related? Tren de Aragua?

Upvote for getting arrested naked!

Handkerchief would have done. 🤷🏼

He won't have to worry about a visa for the next 30 years.

The "willing participant" might well have been drugged or coerced, into complying with instructions, to perform for the camera.

In which case she is a victim of this drug dealing gangster.

She has been used, and exploited whatever the circumstances.

I doubt that this is necessary in Thailand. One or a few more 1000 baht bills should be enough!

To be fair, most of AN posters would like to either wake up looking like him, or at him.
