Chinese and Myanmar men held over Pod K and laughing gas sales in Chon BuriLegacyPolice in Chon Buri arrested a Chinese man and a Myanmar national on November 9 for selling ketamine vape pods, locally known as Pod K, and nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas. The investigation began after an informant alerted officers at Nong Prue Police Station to the alleged sale of ketamine vape products in the Nong Prue area. The suspected seller was identified as 33 year old Chinese national Chen Bingyu. Police said officers posed as customers and arranged to buy the products from Chen. However, a 40 year old Myanmar national, identified as Myo Myint Baing, arrived at the meeting point to deliver the items. Photo via SiamRath Officers arrested Myo Myint Baing, who directed them to the Chinese suspect’s accommodation. When police arrived, they found Chen preparing another delivery. Officers monitored him and allegedly saw him hand two canisters of laughing gas to a South Korean customer. Police then identified themselves and arrested Chen at the scene. A search of his accommodation resulted in the seizure of 89 bottles of ketamine vape liquid, 49 canisters of laughing gas and 127 cartons of cigarettes described by police as smuggled. According to police, Chen admitted to selling the products and said he bought them from a friend in Bangkok. He reportedly sold them mainly to people he knew and accepted cryptocurrency payments. Chen also told officers that he usually left the products at agreed meeting points for customers to collect. Photo via SiamRath Ketamine pods keep turning up in Chon Buri.
