Three foreigners detained in Thailand: an Italian with drugs, a Russian woman for illegal cosmetology, an Indonesian…

Thailand's Immigration Bureau denied entry to more than 29,490 foreign nationals during the first five months of 2026. This is part of the "Three No's" strategy: no entry, no stay, no escape. The operation targets security threats, visa violators, and foreign crime suspects. Over 169,000 names have already been placed on the blacklist. Police arrested a 46-year-old Italian man named Domenico for attempting to smuggle heroin into a police station cell on Koh Samui. The suspect came to visit his Italian friend, who was awaiting deportation at the Bophut police station. Police discovered the drug inside a bottle with an unusual cap. In Phuket, police detained a 45-year-old Russian woman named Kristina for running an illegal cosmetic clinic. During the raid, more than 130 items were seized, including Botox, fillers, and injection equipment. An Indonesian man was sentenced to prison for raping a teenager on a commercial flight. Police also arrested a Japanese fraudster linked to a billion-yuan scam network.
