Drug tests conducted on 22 individuals revealed methamphetamine in their systems, added police.
All 22 individuals agreed to undergo drug treatment. The police identified four additional suspects involved in drug possession at the party. One suspect, publicly identified only as Mr. Warawut, provided valuable information that led to the arrest of three more individuals accused of selling drugs in Bangkok.
