Officers from the Bang Lamung District Office arrested 30 drug suspects, including a Swiss national, during a major crackdown at two accommodation sites in central and northern Pattaya on Monday, January 26. The residents reported that the accommodation became a gathering point for drug users and dealers. According to The Pattaya News, this marked the third drug crackdown at the same apartment complex, as authorities had previously raided the location twice for similar offences. During the operation, officers arrested multiple drug users, including a Swiss man whose identity was not disclosed. Officials stated that all drug users detained in the crackdown would be placed into a rehabilitation programme under the supervision of the Bang Lamung District Office.
