Bangkok, Thailand – On April 10, 2026, authorities arrested two Chinese nationals following complaints of disruptive behavior at a luxury condominium in the Sathorn district. The arrests were carried out under the direction of Pol. Maj. Gen. Theeradech Thamsuthee, Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, and involved officers from the Narcotics Suppression Center of the Metropolitan Police Bureau.
Details of the Arrest
Li Jun, 36, and Chai Pengcheng, 29, both Chinese citizens, were taken into custody. They face charges related to the possession of Category 1 narcotics – specifically, ice and ecstasy – as well as drug use. Li Jun was also found to be in Thailand after his permission to stay had expired.
Residents had filed complaints regarding the men’s alleged activities, which included drug use, loud disturbances, and indecent exposure. Reports indicated the men ran through hallways unclothed, frightened residents, and knocked on doors, causing a disturbance that the condominium’s management could not control.
Investigations revealed that both men are known influencers on the X platform, with a combined following exceeding 600,000 users, and had a history of posting inappropriate content.
During a search of their condominium unit, authorities discovered a significant amount of evidence, including ice, ecstasy, over 100 syringes, 10 mobile phones, one iPad, approximately 100,000 Thai Baht in cash, and various filming and recording devices.
One of the suspects confessed to generating substantial income through online content creation. The other suspect was reportedly under the influence of drugs and unable to provide a clear statement.
