It is said that a chemical engineer has been producing ecstasy in thailand

A chemical engineer suspected of making ecstasy pills was arrested during a raid in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi. Pathiwet Suwankhiri, 42, was arrested Saturday morning from his room on the third floor of a building in the Phra Ngoen Eua-Arthon housing estate in Tambon Plai Bang. Equipment for the production of ecstasy, chemical precursors, a digital scale, 20,000 ecstasy pills and 50 grams of crystalline methamphetamine were confiscated. General Manoon Mekmok, deputy chief of the national police force, said the arrest was due to a police investigation into a drug. A gang that sold locally made ecstasy pills to guests at entertainment venues in Bangkok. Police subsequently arrested Prayoon Thaphinna while trying to deliver drugs to customers two days ago, Pol Maj Gen Manoon said.
