Dansk mand sidder i varetægtsfængsel i Pattaya efter narkoanholdelse.
En dansker sidder i øjeblikket varetægtsfængslet i et fængsel i Thailand med en sigtelse for narkohandel på halsen.
Det bekræfter Udenrigsministeriets Borgerservice, der sædvanen tro er meget lidt meddelsom med oplysninger om nødstedte danske statsborgere i udlandet.
"Vi kan bekræfte, at en dansk statsborger er fængslet i Pattaya i en narkosag, og at medarbejdere fra den danske ambassade har aflagt besøg hos vedkommende," oplyser vagten i Borgerservice til Jyllands-Posten.
Udenrigsministeriet ønsker ikke at oplyse alderen på danskeren, og heller ikke hvornår vedkommende er anholdt.
Pattaya er et meget populært feriemål for udenlandske feriegæster, og mange danskere søger til området - enten som gæster i en kortere periode eller som fastboende.
Den danske konsul i Pattaya, Stig Vagt-Andersen, oplyser til Jyllands-Posten, at den anholdte er en mand med dansk statsborgerskab.
Ifølge Jyllands-Postens oplysninger er der tale om en mand i 30'erne, der sidder i et fængsel i Pattaya-området.

BANGKOK - Police have arrested a Thai-Danish man and seized 39,400 methamphetamine tablets during a drug delivery, reports said.
Police said they had been following a man called Dennis (surname not disclosed), 34, for awhile and arrested him on Sunday when they learned that he was delivering the drugs to another dealer in Sukhapiban Soi 3.
His alleged accomplice, Pornchai Sing-urai, 34, was also arrested at an apartment in Klong Sam Wa area with another 14,000 methamphetamine tablets.
From their statements, police were able to seize another 25,400 yaba pills from an unregistered house in the area.
The suspects admitted to having bought the drugs from a convict called “Tee” currently serving time in Rayong Prison.
In the Ramkhamhaeng area, two suspects, Ms Sakulthai and Mr Apiwat (surnames not disclosed) were arrested when police found 5,050 methamphetamine tablets hidden under their refrigerator.
Police were acting on information from informants when they raided the apartment.
According to police the suspects said they did not know it was yaba when they agreed to a friend's request to stash the bag in their apartment as a favour.
When they found out it was methamphetamine they were too afraid to contact police for fear they would be implicated, so decided to keep the drugs hidden.
