Thai police arrested a 54-year-old Israeli man in Bangkok on Friday on suspicion of drugging women with a cake, secretly filming sexual encounters, and possessing illegal substances. The suspect allegedly met women through a dating app, invited them to his apartment in the Huai Khwang district, and served them cake that reportedly contained a drug. Police reported seizing 15 grams of methamphetamine, 50 packaging bags, a digital scale, and a cake tray from the apartment. A 44-year-old Thai woman was also arrested with the suspect.
The arrest was carried out by the Narcotics Suppression Bureau and immigration police following a tip-off. Authorities stated the Israeli had overstayed his visa by 2,095 days, with his visa expiring in 2021. The suspect, identified as Tom, denied the charges and reportedly told officers that an influential person would secure his release within two hours, also threatening the arresting team with reassignment. Thai media reported the suspect was known to police as "Tom Yam Kung."
According to police, the women who consumed the cake experienced hot flashes and increased sexual desire. While the cake is suspected of containing drugs, lab results have not yet been released.

The suspect refused a drug test and denied ownership of the drugs found in the apartment.
