During a search of the Russian’s bungalow, 855 ecstasy tablets, 470 small bags of cocaine and 127.8 grams of methamphetamine were found. The man admitted that he had bought some of the drugs from Nigerians, which allowed the police to reach three more dealers.
Earlier, another Russian got drunk in a Phuket hotel and did not survive. 28 empty Thai rum flasks and 14 bottles of beer were found in his room.
