Jomtien Operation Detains 81 Drug Users and Two Alleged Dealers

A major drug operation in Jomtien resulted in the arrest of two suspected dealers and the detention of 81 people who tested positive for illegal substances. Officials targeted locations in Soi Jomtien 2 and Soi Jomtien 3 after residents complained about frequent drug sales and gatherings in the area. Officers allegedly seized methamphetamine pills and crystal methamphetamine from a 21-year-old man before finding drug paraphernalia in several nearby rooms. Information gathered during the operation later led to a controlled purchase and the arrest of a 35-year-old woman carrying more crystal methamphetamine. The detained users, consisting of 57 men and 24 women, will undergo government screening and rehabilitation while investigators examine the wider distribution network.
