Two people arrested during a Friday raid on a party at a resort on Koh Samui have tested positive for Covid-19.
Two of 83 new cases were connected with the party: an Australian national, the owner of Lamborghini Villa where the party was held, and a Thai visitor.
The two were among 24 party-goers — 13 Thais and 11 foreigners — caught during the raid on Friday night.
Others who attended the party were being quarantined at a field hospital on the island.
Five Thais and one Russian national had previously been infected with the coronavirus at an entertainment venue on Chaweng beach. They were discharged from the field hospital on Aug 10.
Almost 50 officials participated in the raid on Friday night and also confiscated a small amount of illicit drugs from two foreigners.
Samui has about 5,000 expats living on the island.
