Police arrested shop worker, Tern Zer Oo, 26 of Myanmar, shortly after 2am Saturday (Feb 7) for operating a shop that sells the tobacco-flavored product, shisha (baraku in Thai) which is prohibited in Phuket. The import of shisha is also prohibited in all of Thailand.
Confiscted items included 3 boxes of shisha and other smoking equipment like hookahs. Though the shop, which sits on Sirirat Rd, also sells alcohol police say it's focus was the sale of the banned product.
