Drug Agent Arrested in Suphan Buri With Meth Pills
Suphan Buri officials arrested a man known as 'Bank Sala Khao' for possession and sale of methamphetamine and ketamine. The suspect, a day laborer, claimed he turned to drug dealing to supplement his income. Authorities seized 40 meth pills, two packets of ketamine, and drug paraphernalia during a raid prompted by a public tip-off.
Suphan Buri administrative officials arrested 'Bank Sala Khao,' a drug agent who both used and sold drugs, claiming he worked as a general laborer but needed extra income because his wages were insufficient. On November 10, 2026, Suphan Buri District Chief Sittiporn Khonghom assigned Deputy District Chief Chaiyut Chesdapakorn, along with administrative staff, territorial defense volunteers from the 1st District Territorial Defense Company, and special administrative operations units, joined by Lieutenant Kraison Amkoed, Deputy Chief of Operations Coordination, and Suphan Buri Provincial Narcotics Suppression officers, to investigate a public complaint about covert drug sales in Ban Ko Wang Phlong, Sala Khao Subdistrict, Mueang Suphan Buri District. During the investigation, when officers entered the reported alley, they encountered a man later identified as Bank Sala Khao, who acted suspiciously by turning and walking back into his residence. Before entering, he took a wallet from his pants pocket and placed it near a parked Yamaha XMAX 300 motorcycle. Officers seized the wallet for inspection and obtained permission to search the motorcycle, finding two zip-lock bags containing ketamine. A body search of Bank yielded no additional illegal items, and he then allowed officers to search his room. The search uncovered 40 orange methamphetamine tablets stamped with the 'WY' logo, packed in four bags of ten tablets each inside a black plastic box with a lid on a shelf beside the bed. Used drug paraphernalia was also found on a nearby plate. Following the search, administrative officers arrested Bank for questioning. He admitted to working as a day laborer and dealing drugs to supplement his insufficient income. He was initially charged with possession of Category 1 narcotics (methamphetamine) without permission, and the seized evidence — 40 methamphetamine tablets, two packets of ketamine, and drug paraphernalia — was confiscated for further legal proceedings.
