Mr. Thammanoon said that Mr. Sakchai Khongklaew, a 29-year-old taxi driver in Koh Samui, was arrested at a rented house with no house number while he was trying to sell 100 grams of crystal meth to an undercover officer. Mr. Sakchai confessed that he was just selling the drug for a drug dealer in the nearby area.

With the information that Mr. Sakchai gave, the officers went to arrest Mrs. Nisa Daungsalak, a drug dealer Mr. Sakchai referred to; however, Mrs. Nisa managed to escape through the back door of her house. The officers surround the house and eventually succeeded in capturing Mrs. Nisa. After searching Mrs. Nisa’s house, only a 9mm pistol was found.

Mr. Thammanoon added that all of the suspects that were arrested will be sent to inquiry officials of Bo Phut District Police Station for further prosecution.
