Four Israeli men claimed to have been celebrating the end of the war in Gaza when they were arrested this morning in possession of party drugs at a luxury villa on the Thai island of Koh Phangan, the Bangkok Post reports.
According to the report, local police responded to a noise complaint at 2:40 a.m. when they found the group of men, who claimed to be soldiers, in possession of cocaine and powdered ecstasy.
The group tested positive for cocaine and methamphetamines at Koh Phangan Hospital, the report says.
