Police from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CIB) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raided shops selling balloon gas laughing on Jalan Khaosan, a popular tourist area in Bangkok.
In the raids carried out on Friday, June 7, 19 suspects were arrested, 16 of whom came from Myanmar, two from Cambodia, and one from Laos.
The suspects were charged with three offenses including producing and selling unlicensed drugs, committing the crime of foreigners, and working without a work permit or outside the scope of work allowed.
The evidence confiscated included nine items such as balloons containing phyrogen oxide, a balloon advertisement board containing phyrogen oxide, and an oxide citrogen tube.
This is the second raid on Jalan Khaosan in recent months. In February, the police arrested 13 people and confiscated a laughing gas balloon worth more than 1 million baht (Rp443 million).

Following the raid, the police continued to monitor Jalan Khaosan for the sale of illegal laughing gas balloons.
They found local store sellers had adapted their method of avoiding findings in shops, using foreign workers to advertise laughing gas balloons along Jalan Khaosan, without showing any fear of the law.
Authorities warn tourists to avoid using laughing gas, as it is dangerous to inhale in large quantities.
Symptoms of shot oxide overdose include nausea, dizziness, and loss of breath control. In severe cases, this can result in death.
