Pattaya Police investigate possible discovery of drug-making factory at Jomtien Condo

PATTAYA:--Early on Thursday Morning Pattaya Police were called to View Talay Condominium 1 in Jomtien after a cleaner discovered, what she believed to be a drug-making facility in a room where the occupants had just checked-out from.

Inside the room pots of refrigerated sugar and other unidentified powders were found along with a book in Arabic language which is still being analysed by Police.

Police are aware of the full details of the recent occupants of the apartment which is used by short-stay customers.

No chance they were just cooking huh? I'm no chemist but no drugs I know of are made from sugar.

Drugs?

Could it be bomb making???

Yes, sugar can be used to make explosives but there are better readily available compounds.

Cake Baking or worse? You decide

Cookery Class or Drugs factory? You decide

Pattaya: a Jomtien Hotel maid called the police when she discovered 3KG of “white powder” in a rented room.

Police from the local station visited the apartment in View Talay 1, Na Jomtien and were shown a bag of suspicious white powder which had drawn the maids attention. Initial speculation is that it is in fact … sugar.

But, to meet their obligations to the Public and “just in case “ the Police removed the following items from the scene:

A suitcase, a round cake baking tray (non stick), a blender (boxed), a plastic sieve, some books written in a “foreign language” and a notebook…. as the Maid feared that the whole collection could be used, not to bake a cake, but to manufacture drugs?

Along with the haul, officers removed the rest of the forgotten goods, which included clothing and toiletries

Reported in some media as “being of Arabic origin”, the former room residents were in fact from Malaysia and may have overlooked their catering and other exhibits as they left the rental apartment or, it is possible, that they had used the premises for other, subversive, reasons. A predominantly Muslim Country, Malaysia borders onto the southern tip of Thailand.

Sure one " overlooks " a pick up load of items when moving out of a rented room.

Space cakes?

This appears to be the same hotel that the German guy was murdered. Does anyone know if there's any connection?

Does View Talay 1 and Metro condotel sound the same to you?

Or were you thinking there is only 1 condo building in Jomtien

I was thinking Jomtien was the name of the hotel but apparently it is a district in Pattaya.

The blind leading the blind, comes to mind. The cleaning lady may be the most astute of those called in to investigate this potential crime scene. Crack the chemistry books/law books to find a potential end product, that a charge can be manufactored for.

[justaphase]

Maybe they did it for a laugh to see the response from all the 'super detectives' on here...

[Jayman]

Well the book written in Arabic is the true piece to the puzzle. Where ever will they find someone in Pattaya that can read arabic and tell them if the book contains drug/bomb recipes.

Nope, I'm afraid this one will never get solved.

I think the most disturbing thing about this story is that the RTP have, once again, failed to call upon the readily available, crack CSI/FBI/Navy Seal/CIA/Forensic Pathology team on instant tap at TVF.

[Thaddeus]

Did they find any olive oil ...... extra virgin.

[mr.buffalo]

Sugar, diesel and if there was any fertilizer it would make quite a bang not to mention hurt.

A calorie bomb?

[MunterHunter]

What the news article fails to say is the cleaner had away all the drugs and got her brother to sell them before she reported it to the police

[TommyDee]

just got off the blower with "Mickie the mixer" who gave me a training course on drug production. Seems that mixing sugar with Cocaine is a no no as it totally alters the taste and would put a buyer off. Mixing it with Heroin would, of course, kill the user. If used to cut methamphetamines ( Yabba) it cant then be smoked as you wouldnt have a lungs left. HOWEVER.. some "cheap arse" ( his words) dealers have diluted Yabba with sugar in the past. can then only be sniffed ( again his words) and it appears that dealers who sell drugs which are cut with sugar lose their popularity and a lot more very quickly amongst their junkie clientele. Yabba pills, of course, need a binding agent to hold them together as a pill. that agent.. this is scary, is usually.. household cleaning products, over the counter cold medicines and lithium ....that is extracted from batteries. now thats weird!

Not sure I would there. IP address traced and BiB on the way.

My theory is that the book which appeared to be written in a foreign language, possibly Arabic was in fact a translated copy of the tome shown below.That of course accounts for the collection of home baking paraphernalia in the apartment.

The recently departed occupants were probably making some crumpets or making out with some crumpet considering the area in question.

And Mrs Beeton wasn't really known for original work, dead at 28, nicked most of her ideas off other people...... not a Delia by any stretch.
