Pattaya police arrested two alleged drug dealers who ordered methamphetamines from a supplier locked up in Chonburi Prison.
Nanthawut Sriraksa and Vasana Nanta, both 30, were captured in separate arrests in their Banglamung apartments Sept. 29. Police recovered a total of 60 grams of crystal methamphetamines and 1,100 ya ba tablets.

Investigators said Nanthawut confessed to purchasing drugs from a dealer identified only as “Sak,” a Chonburi prison inmate he met while serving his own drug sentence there. Once he got out, Nanthawut said, he went back into business, this time ordering his supply from Sak via telephone and picking it up in a secluded area on the prison’s perimeter.
Police claim Vasana works for Nanthawut as both a drug user and small-time distributor.
