Banglamung Officials Conduct Another Raid on Jomtien Soi 2 Amid Drug Sale Complaints

On September 7th, 2026, Banglamung District administrative officers and police conducted another raid on Soi 2 in Jomtien following complaints of street-level drug sales and gatherings for narcotics use. The operation was ordered by Chonburi Governor Narit Niramaiwong and Banglamung District Chief Anusak Phiriyamon. This marks the latest in a series of raids conducted on the soi over the past year. Authorities stated their intention to respond to continuous complaints from the community and curb the spread of illegal narcotics. Residents expressed hope that such crackdowns would lead to improved community safety and quality of life. However, the recurring nature of these raids, despite repeated enforcement, suggests the potential for more complex socio-economic factors contributing to the persistent issue.
