A similar event had been held in the same suite on Friday night (6 Dec), he added.
Ecstasy & ketamine seized from hotel suite
When authorities learned the party was an exclusive invite-only affair, they attempted to infiltrate the social media group organising it, but their requests for invitations were denied.
However, when police were notified that around 100 men had entered room 2001 on the 20th floor of the S3 Hotel at 1am on Sunday, they moved quickly to take action.

Police arrested 124 individuals, including both Thai and foreign nationals, in their underwear, along with two or three women.
Authorities also seized ecstasy and ketamine from the hotel suite.
Exclusive party with celebrities & beauty clinic administrators

The hotel suite, which costs around 32,000 baht (around S$1,300) per night, is designed for six guests and offers a view of the Bangkok skyline, along with a private pool, sauna, and mini-bar.
