Woman, 29, Dies After Vaping in Bang Kapi Condo
A 29-year-old woman was found dead in a Bang Kapi condominium after reportedly vaping a cannabis vape pen. Police seized hundreds of used vape pods and other drug-related items from the room. The victim's friend said she suddenly went into shock while vaping; toxicology results are pending before any charges are considered.
On November 9, 2026, Pol. Lt. Col. Thuwanan Ngoenyuang, investigator at Huamak Police Station, disclosed that at 11:00 p.m. on November 8, police were notified of a woman's death inside a condominium in Bang Kapi, Bangkok. Officers, led by Pol. Col. Prasopchok Iampinit, Huamak Station Superintendent, along with forensic doctors from the Police Hospital, evidence technicians, and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, responded to the scene.
The incident occurred on the 10th floor of a 20-story building. The deceased, identified only as Ms. Chotirot, 29, was found lying face up on the floor wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and black shorts. Her body showed signs of livor mortis. No signs of a struggle or ransacking were found in the room. On a table, police discovered a large quantity of used empty vape pods in a box, an electronic cigarette device, and vape pods containing cannabis oil — a drug popular among teenagers — as well as a nerve pain medication. All items were seized as evidence.
A 25-year-old friend of the deceased, identified under the pseudonym Ms. A, told police that around 9:00 p.m., while the victim was vaping, she suddenly went into shock and lost consciousness. The friend immediately called the police.
Pol. Col. Prasopchok said preliminary investigation revealed the victim and her friend worked at an entertainment venue on Srinagarindra Road and had been vaping cannabis for a long time. The victim kept the used pods, accumulating several hundred. All items were seized, and the friend was taken to the Police Hospital for a blood drug test. The victim's body was sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police Hospital for a toxicology examination. No charges have been filed yet, pending the blood test results.
