Israeli arrested in Thailand suspected of drugging women he met on dating app

On October 23, Thai police apprehended a 54-year-old Israeli man in Bangkok's Huai Khwang district, suspected of drugging women he met via a dating application, inviting them to his apartment, and secretly filming himself engaging in sexual activity with them. The officers seized 15 grams of methamphetamine, 50 packaging bags, a digital scale, and a tray of cakes during the raid at the suspect's apartment.

A 44-year-old Thai woman was also taken into custody. The arrest was made by the Metropolitan Police Bureau's Narcotics Suppression Center in collaboration with immigration authorities, following a complaint filed through the 1386 hotline.

The suspect, Tomer, who had overstayed his visa by 2,095 days since its expiration in 2021, denied the allegations and threatened to transfer the arresting team within two hours. Police referred to him as "Tom Yum Kung." The women who consumed the cake experienced hot flashes and heightened sexual desire, leading investigators to suspect the presence of drugs in the dessert, though no laboratory test results have been released yet.

Police found conversations on the suspect's phone about purchasing drugs for resale and videos of him engaging in sexual activity with multiple women. The suspect refused to undergo a drug test and denied the drugs found in the apartment belonged to him.
