SURAT THANI – Four Israeli men have been arrested on Koh Phangan after police raided a loud party at a luxury villa on Friday, uncovering a dangerous cocktail of narcotics including “candy” pills shaped like Labubu dolls—a popular art toy.

Acting on a tip from residents, tourist police stormed the villa and detained the suspects as they attempted to flee. A search revealed cocaine, ecstasy (MDMA), and the designer polydrug pills, which authorities say contain high concentrations of MDMA mixed with ketamine, cocaine, and caffeine.

Koh Phangan District Chief Paisit Thongcherm warned that the combination significantly raises the risk of fatal overdose and sudden cardiac arrest. Thai authorities first raised the alarm last year over such cartoon-shaped pills, expressing concern that children might mistake them for candy.
