Bangkok Police Dismantle Drug Trafficking Ring Using Food Deliveries
Authorities in Bangkok have arrested a 29-year-old woman for allegedly using food delivery services to traffic cocaine, hiding the narcotics inside rotting bread.
On November 9, 2026, Metropolitan Police Bureau officers conducted a raid at a condominium in the On Nut area of Bangkok, leading to the arrest of a 29-year-old woman identified as Ms. Chanyanuch. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the suspect had been under investigation for suspicious behavior involving the frequent ordering of large quantities of bread. Investigators discovered that the suspect would leave the bread to rot until it attracted ants before using it to conceal cocaine shipments. The suspect allegedly utilized motorcycle delivery services up to 20 times per day to distribute the illicit substances, a practice she reportedly maintained for approximately two years. The operation was led by high-ranking officials, including Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom and Police Major General Teeradej Thumsutee, following an investigation into drug trafficking networks operating within residential complexes. For residents and visitors, this case highlights ongoing efforts by Thai authorities to monitor and disrupt drug distribution channels that exploit legitimate gig-economy services. While the arrest has been confirmed and the suspect is in custody, further details regarding the full extent of the network and potential accomplices remain under investigation by the Phra Khanong Police Station.
