Bangkok police stormed a luxury hotel in the Sukhumvit area early Sunday morning and arrested 29 men — 28 Thais and one Filipino — at what they described as a drug-fuelled sex party.
The operation took place around 12.30am at a high-end hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 13. The raid followed a tip-off about drug parties among “upper-class” circles.
Some 50 officers found dozens of men wearing only underwear in the hotel suite. Many were reportedly engaged in sexual activity when the raid happened.
Police confiscated a small quantity of methamphetamine, two meth pills, a bottle of liquid ecstasy, ketamine, two boxes of Viagra, 30 bottles of amyl nitrite (aka poppers, a popular inhalant used as a sex aid for gay men), syringes, drug paraphernalia and a large number of condoms and lubricants.
Three people have been charged so far for possessing illegal drugs. Urine tests confirmed drug use in four individuals.
Police said an undercover officer — a muscular man - was sent to infiltrate the party scene.
The event was organised by the same group previously arrested during a similar operation in the Thong Lor area on Dec 8 last year, police said.
