Immigration Police Raid Illegal 'Zombie Vape' Production Site in Bangkok
Thai immigration authorities have arrested five Vietnamese nationals in the Pratunam area for operating an illicit facility producing 'zombie vapes' and 'K-vapes'.
According to a report by Matichon Online, officers from Immigration Division 1 conducted a raid on a production site located in the Pratunam district of Bangkok. During the operation, authorities apprehended five Vietnamese nationals suspected of manufacturing illicit vaping products, specifically those marketed as 'zombie vapes' and 'K-vapes'.
During the search, officials seized approximately 3,200 finished vaping units, along with various chemicals and equipment used to mix the liquid solutions. The raid follows an investigation into the distribution of these substances within the capital.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights ongoing enforcement actions against the illegal production and sale of vaping products in Thailand. While the possession and use of e-cigarettes remain strictly prohibited under Thai law, the discovery of a local production facility suggests a persistent underground market.
Details regarding the specific chemical composition of the seized products and the potential legal consequences for the detainees remain subject to further investigation by the authorities. The public is reminded that Thailand maintains stringent regulations regarding vaping devices, and individuals are advised to remain aware of local laws to avoid legal complications. Further updates are expected as the legal proceedings against the five individuals progress.
