Suchada was found with the same drugs and the same green concoction used by the gang arrested in October.

PHUKET: Phuket police have arrested yet again one of six women charged in October with luring foreign tourists to hotel rooms, where they were drugged and subsequently robbed.

Suspect Suchada Yusuk, 29, was arrested on Soi Bangla at 3:30am today.

“We had an investigation team tailing her. When she started acting suspiciously while walking along Soi Bangla, the officers stopped and searched her,” said Maj Thammasan Boonsong, head of the Patong Police Investigations Unit.

Officers found in her bag five Alprazolam pills, eight Atarax pills and a small plastic bottle containing a green-colored liquid mixture of the drugs – the same concoction used in the October arrests – and another similar bottle, but empty.

“When we brought her in for questioning, she confessed that she used [Alprazolam] to drug foreigners' to sleep. She put the mix in their drinks and then she stole their belongings,” Maj Thammasan said.

“She always chose foreigners on Soi Bangla [as her victims],” he added.

“We are not sure if she had already robbed someone as one of the bottles we found on her was empty. We are still investigating that aspect,” Maj Thammasan said.

Suchada will be presented in court today to face a fresh charge of illegal possession of a prescription drug, he added.

Suchada’s arrest today came while she was out on bail after being arrested on October 31 with the five other women and charged with illegal possession of a prescription drug, explained Maj Thammasan.

She was to present herself to Phuket Provincial Court on December 8.

Maj Thammasan explained that Suchada, who formally changed her first name from Wanpen about five months ago, was released on bail because she is a suspect in another robbery case in which foreigners were victimized.

Her alleged accomplice in that case, Jaruni Kanpol, is still at large.

Police hoped that releasing Suchada on bail would help lead them to Jaruni, said Maj Thammasan.

Suchada and Jaruni are suspected of using the same knockout drops to drug tourists and then rob them, he added.

Officers are also keeping tabs on the other women arrested in the October 31 bust, Maj Thammasan said.

“I have heard that some of them left Phuket, but we have seen some of the others still in Patong and we are keeping our eyes on them to make sure they don’t do it again,” he said.

None of the women are now working in bars, he noted.

“Even though some of them worked in bars on Soi Bangla, we did not reveal which bars they worked at. We would like to protect the reputation of those bars, especially since the tourists were not drugged on the premises,” he added.

Phuket Provincial Court on November 2 found the five other women guilty of illegal possession of a prescription drug, Maj Thammasan said.

Three were listed as: Kemporn Pooseedin, 45, from Maha Sarakham; Saeng Nuansri, 47, from Phuket; and Wanida Yusuk, 36, from Yasothon. Each were ordered to pay fines of 10,000 baht.

Supaporn Yusuk, 18, from Yasothon was fined 2,500 baht and Sukanya Jansong, 23, from Ubon Ratchathani was fined 1,000 baht.

As all five confessed to the charges, the court halved their fines, the Gazette was told.

All five have already paid their fines, the court confirmed.

Kemporn, Saeng and Wanida all appeared in court yesterday to faces charges of theft. They are scheduled to appear again on December 8.

Although three women were remanded to Phuket Provincial Prison and later released on bail. Maj Thammasan explained that theft charges were filed against only these three women because victims had come forward and identified them in their complaints.

During proceedings against the women, the court record noted that Kemporn, who police believe to be the gang’s ringleader, had recently completed serving a one-year jail sentence at Phuket Prison on charges of receiving stolen property.

You couldn't make it up. What a bunch of bumbling buffoons.

^You fail to understand just how cunning the thai police are. They know that Jaruni cannot read, so its ok to tell everyone else they have set a trap.

Some side-effects may disappear with continued treatment. If signs of an allergic reaction occur - such as hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat - medical attention should be sought immediately. Medical attention should also be sought immediately if signs of jaundice appear: yellowing of the skin or eyes. Other side-effects that may occur are as follows:

• Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, unsteadiness and impaired coordination, vertigo[34][35]

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, feeling like you might pass out.
What should I avoid while taking Atarax?

Atarax can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase some of the side effects of Atarax.

You beat me to it, how the fuck could she lure anyone into a hotel room? Maybe in the West where most prossies are crack addicts, but here?????

[Breny]

Charming lady, she will be out again soon i think. If saw her i would take the knock out drops first and then go back to the room.

I have only been spiked once in my life ( ecstacy )and that was in Ibiza ten years ago. I had a friking great night, danced like God ( i moved in mysterious ways ) and chatted up beautiful girls that i wouldn't have the confidence to do usually.

Really. Talk about a dog? UCK Mrs. Thumb and her 4 daughters look much better and a hell of a lot cheaper.

[livelife]

Its good to see 18 and 23 year olds involved in this mess. Their lives are headed in the right direction. Also, very surprising to see that the majority of them are from Isaan. Who would've thought?

[petercallen]

They should have been given prison sentences not fined
Just back on the streets and doing the same thing again
Not hard to find sucker tourists in Bangla Road

Plenty of people from Isaan work all around the country
It is one of the poorer areas of Thailand
My wife is from there but has never worked in the entertainment
industry or Phuket, never tare people with the same brush
The majority of people who come from Isaan are very nice
I cannot say the same thing about sex tourists

It is also amazing what ten bottles of Leo, Chang,Heineken,etc etc will do to your powers of judgement,reasoning and logical thought processing after consumption of said beverages or more.But you are right , she looks like a 20 pinter shag , so i"m safe [ I can"t drink 20 pints ].......

[billy the kid]
