Police Seize Record 2.6 Million Methamphetamine Pills in Sisaket
Police seized 2.6 million methamphetamine pills hidden in a rice field in Sisaket—the province's largest drug bust on record. Authorities are pursuing additional suspects and warning the public about a new designer drug disguised as collage
On August 7, 2025, at Sisaket Provincial Hall, Governor Anurat Thammanprajamjit, Sisaket Provincial Police Commander Supachai Sakrinpanichkul, and officials from military, civilian administration, prison services, and related agencies announced the seizure of 2,646,000 methamphetamine pills—the largest drug bust in Sisaket's history. A civic informant tipped off authorities to 16 fertilizer sacks loaded on two push carts and hidden in a rice field in Noi Khun District. Governor Anurat emphasized that solving the drug problem requires cooperation from all sectors of society and urged citizens to report tips to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board hotline 1386 available 24 hours daily, the national police emergency line 191, or local police stations.
The province will continue Operation 90 Days to dismantle drug trafficking networks, seize assets from offenders, provide treatment to users, and build drug-free communities for sustainable quality of life and public safety. Police Commander Supachai revealed that authorities are gathering evidence to pursue accomplices still at large. The court has issued arrest warrants for two brothers, Tawan, 33, and An, 27, members of the "Cockfighting Den" drug network, with suspicion that more network members remain at large.
Supachai also warned about a new drug called "Happy Water" circulating in Sisaket, disguised as "collagen" or skin care products but containing methamphetamine powder or MDMA. The drugs can be mixed into drinking water and used immediately, producing stimulant effects similar to methamphetamine and MDMA. Large doses can cause seizures. This new counterfeit drug is easy to obtain and is spreading particularly in youth tourism areas and entertainment venues. Authorities urge the public and parents to watch for suspicious collagen or skin care products and report them to drug control hotlines 1386 or 191 for immediate investigation and legal action.
