Thread: Bangkok Police Raid LGBTQ+ Drug Party at Luxury Hotel, 120 Detained

At 1:30 AM on December 8th, 2024, Thonglor police raided a drug-fueled party involving over 120 individuals, both Thais and foreigners, at a luxury hotel in Bangkok’s Watthana district.


Pol. Col. Pansa Amornapitak, Thonglor police chief, revealed that a tip-off on December 6th reported a planned party with drug activities. Authorities conducted surveillance and launched the raid after noticing a large gathering in a hotel room on Sukhumvit Soi 31.

According to Pol. Col. Pansa, the attendees, mostly Thai and foreign male tourists, were reportedly part of an LGBTQ+ group. Initial searches reportedly uncovered ecstasy and ketamine at the scene. All participants were detained, including two to three women.

Investigations revealed the event required pre-registration through a secret online group, with identity verification by group administrators. Undercover agents attempted to join but were denied access, leading to the raid.


Initially, Bangkok authorities are conducting drug tests on all detainees and preparing charges. The evidence and suspects have been transferred to Thonglor Police Station for further legal action.

Err...the partygoers were mostly gay men, Sherlock.

Thonglor police chief, revealed that a tip-off...

Was it a "concerned citizen" I wonder?

That looks like it was quite a party until the cops showed up. Not my scene, but consenting adults having a fun time, I wonder if the police don't have better things to do.

did the boys in brown have their brown hats on?

10k 'bail' and and a handy 1.2 mill for a few hours of the rozzer's time. A knee trembler or two for the gay ones on top. Like the Special K, not to be sniffed at.

Over 120 nabbed at a drug-fuelled party in a Sukhumvit hotel

Police raided an ‘underwear party’ being held in a Sukhumvit Soi 31 hotel suite early this morning and rounded up 120 men, many of whom are gay, and two women. Ecstasy (MDMA), Ice (crystal methamphetamine) and Ketamine were seized.


Pol Col Pansa Amaraphitak, the superintendent of Thonglor police, said that all the party-goers were wearing only underwear at the time of the raid.


All were subjected to urine tests. 66 were positive for drug use and drugs were found in the possession of 31 of them. Those who tested negative for drugs were released after the police recorded their details.


Of the 31 people who were found to be in possession of drugs, Pol Col Pansa said that one of them is believed to have been the organiser of the party, because he was found in possession of a large amount of drugs and a QR code, through which his clients transferred money into his bank account to pay for the drugs.


The hotel suite comprises several rooms and a private swimming pool, which can accommodate a lot of people.
