Russian citizen detained with drugs in Koh Phangan!

A Russian caught with narcotics in Pangandaran! On February 25, 2026, officers from the Pangandaran tourist police arrested 33-year-old Russian citizen Evgenii Nikulin (Mr. Evgenii Nikulin). Patrol officers noticed a car speeding through a residential area. The police followed the car to issue a warning to the driver. When the car stopped, the officers asked the foreign driver to produce his passport. The man was visibly nervous, confused in his statements, and claimed that his passport was at home. The police followed him to his residence. At his home, the suspect began to act suspiciously: he was shaking, sweating heavily, and tried to prevent the officers from entering. After a series of questioning, he confessed: "There's something illegal inside the house." As a result of the search, a mix of dangerous narcotics was found. On the table in front of the bathroom, the police found: - Ketamine: a white powder in 2 packets (total weight around 1.63 g). - A mixture of ecstasy and ketamine: blue powder in 1 packet (weight 1.18 g). - MDA: brown crystals in 1 packet. - Ecstasy (Ecstasy): triangular tablets with a skull image, purple and orange colors (a total of 3 pieces). The police paid special attention to a new type of drug, known in slang as "Khanom" (Sweetness) or "Labubu": Outwardly, they look like brightly colored pills, imitating popular art toys (Labubu) or made in the shape of a skull on an orange and purple background. The design is specifically designed to attract young people and party-goers. However, they have a deadly composition. Laboratory analysis showed that it is highly concentrated MDMA mixed with ketamine, cocaine and caffeine. This combination of several substances is extremely dangerous and often leads to death. The detainee admitted that all the substances found belonged to him, and said that he had used ecstasy two days ago. He was charged with "Illegal possession of category 1 narcotics (ecstasy, MDMA)" and "Illegal possession of category 2 psychotropic substances (ketamine)." The suspect and evidence were transferred to the Pangan police station for further investigation. @REAL_PHUKET For readers: Be careful about the composition of the substances offered and remember the responsibility for possession and use of drugs in Thailand.
