He was arrested while riding in a taxi, police said, adding that officers noticed that Phantit appeared high on drugs and so had stopped the taxi to search him. Police found a small zip-lock bag containing 0.92 grams of cocaine in his left trouser pocket. He was taken to the Thonglor police station for questioning. Police said Phanthit admitted that the drug belonged to him and told police he was returning home after visiting the Rot Fai Market Ratchada on Ratchadaphisek Road.
