’Meth doctor’ nabbed after jabs

The Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) has arrested a man operating under the online alias “Doctor for All Moods”, who allegedly sold methamphetamine (crystal meth) and offered on-site injection services to clients in hotel rooms. The suspect, Kom-anan “Dr Golf”, 39, was caught in Bangkok following a covert sting operation.

Investigators discovered the suspect marketed his services through social media, targeting LGBTQ+ clients and offering a “double injection” package. Some encounters were secretly filmed and shared online, leading to the circulation of hundreds of explicit videos.

Police conducted a week-long undercover operation, deploying an officer disguised as a potential client.

The arrest took place at a motel in Khlong Tan, followed by a search of a residence in Soi Pridi Banomyong 40, where additional drugs and equipment were found.

Items seized include pre-filled syringes with methamphetamine, 7.2 grammes of crystal meth in sealed bags, eight packs of Viagra (six pills each), packaging materials prepared for drug delivery, and two mobile phones containing 283 explicit videos.

The suspect admitted to previous convictions for theft, facilitating underage prostitution, and drug offences. He admitted to targeting LGBTQ+ clients due to high demand and claimed that combining drug use with sexual activity increased his income. He also acknowledged filming and sharing videos to attract more customers.

A second suspect, Paveena “Na”, 40, denied all charges, claiming she was unaware of the drug activity and had only allowed Mr Kom-anan to stay temporarily. However, police found evidence suggesting her involvement. Both suspects were charged with possession and distribution of a Category 1 narcotic and were transferred to Khlong Tan police for further legal proceedings.

MPB deputy commissioner Pol Maj Gen Teeradet Thamsuthee said Metropolitan Police will intensify efforts to combat drug trafficking via social media, especially those that target the young. “This case highlights the dangers of online drug networks. We are committed to making Bangkok safer,” he said.
