Four Israelis have been arrested on Koh Phangan after police raided a party at a luxury villa, where the occupants were discovered using a potentially deadly polydrug in pills shaped like Labubu dolls.
Tourist police on the southern island received a report from local residents that a house was holding a loud party, with suspicious foreigners coming and going throughout Friday.
Officers raided the house and found four Israeli men, who attempted to flee but failed.
A search uncovered several illegal drugs, including cocaine, ecstasy and a mixed drug, referred to by users as “candy” and shaped like the popular toy Labubu.
The “candy” drug contained MDMA, or ecstasy, mixed with ketamine, cocaine and caffeine.
The combination increases the risk of fatal overdose, with the potential to cause sudden cardiac arrest.
Thai authorities first alerted the public to the Labubu- and Doraemon-shaped combination pills last year, saying they were particularly concerned that children might try them.
