The arrest of the man, 18-year-old Phakawan Srisuwan, then led to the arrest of a Pakistani man who was found to be in possession of 23.64 grams of marijuana.
After receiving a tip-off, police first arrested Phakawan at a hotel in Rawai with over 900 ya bah pills and an unknown quantity of ya ice.
Phakawan told police that he transported the drugs to Phuket himself when he travelled here from Bangkok by bus last Thursday (Apr 6).
Following his arrest, Phakawan then told police that there was a man from Pakistan who would buy drugs from him, he also provided police an address where the man was staying.
Police then went to a rented house close to Phakawan’s hotel and found 28-year-old Hanan Afzal in possession of 23.64grams of marijuana.
Both are currently being held at Chalong Police Station where Phakawan is to be charged with possession of Category 1 drugs with intent to see, and Hanan is to be charged with possession of a Category 5 drug.
