Sa kaeo: Authorities in Sa Kaeo have successfully arrested Kai Khlong Sai, a notorious drug dealer, as part of a strategic operation targeting drug trafficking in the region. During the raid, the dealer attempted to destroy evidence by dissolving crystal methamphetamine in a container of water as officers approached.

According to Thai News Agency, the incident unfolded when officers stormed the premises of Mr. Sunthorn, also known as Kai Khlongthai, in Watthana Nakhon District. Known for his evasive maneuvers, Mr. Sunthorn was confronted by officers who were aware of his tactic to dissolve drugs in water. In anticipation of his actions, the officers negotiated with him through a closed door, urging him to hand over the methamphetamine. Despite his attempts to hide the evidence, the officers broke down the door and arrested him. They found approximately 500 milliliters of dissolved methamphetamine and an additional 11.7 grams still in a bag. These items were seized as evidence.

The operation, which is part of "Operation 90 Days: A 90-Day Campaign to Eradicate Drugs," also led to the arrest of two other individuals involved in the drug trafficking network in the Khlong Sai area. Mr. Apichit, known as Kob Khlong Sai, was found with 27 methamphetamine pills, and Mr. Nattawut, or Nat Tha Kabak, was also apprehended. In addition to the drug dealers, two drug users were detained during the operation.
