Police apprehended a 27 year old man in the Bang Chan Subdistrict, Khlong Sam Wa District, Bangkok, on charges of illegal possession and attempted distribution of psilocybin mushrooms, a Category 5 narcotic. Police seized 11 items as evidence.
The arrest followed a tip-off from an informant who reported that Chitsanupong was cultivating and selling psilocybin mushrooms online and delivering them via private courier services. The officers informed Theeradej Thammasuthee, the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Chief Investigator, to proceed with the investigation and arrest.
Police conducted a sting operation by purchasing 2 grams of psilocybin mushrooms through the LINE application under the seller name Mushrooms Research for 350 baht (US$ 10). An additional order for 2 grams was placed for another 350 baht, with the seller including an extra gram for free, totalling 5 grams.
The payment was transferred to a Thai bank account in the name of Chitsanupong. Upon successful transfer, the seller confirmed that the package would be sent after 6pm
