Cyber Police Raid Warehouse Supplying Ingredients for Illicit '4x100' Cocktail
Thai authorities have seized nearly 20,000 bottles of cough syrup from a warehouse in Bangkok, uncovering an online distribution network linked to the '4x100' drug cocktail.
On August 27, 2026, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) executed a search warrant at a residence in the Sai Mai district of Bangkok. According to Khaosod Online, the operation resulted in the arrest of four suspects and the seizure of approximately 20,000 bottles of cough syrup, a controlled substance often misused as a primary ingredient in the '4x100' recreational drug cocktail.
Authorities reported that the operation was part of a larger investigation into an illicit online sales network, which allegedly generated a circulation of over 1 billion baht. The raid, led by high-ranking CCIB officials, targeted a warehouse facility used to store and distribute these restricted medications to customers across the country.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the strict regulation of pharmaceutical products in Thailand. Cough syrups containing specific ingredients are classified as controlled substances; unauthorized possession or distribution carries severe legal consequences. While the police have successfully dismantled this specific distribution hub, the full extent of the network and the identities of all individuals involved in the supply chain remain under investigation. Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the specific legal charges pending against the four suspects or the potential involvement of other entities in the illicit trade.
