Phuket police arrested nine foreigners and five Thai women for partying in violation of the order against gathering in crowds, to control the spread of coronavirus disease.
They were arrested on the rooftop of a rented house late on Wednesday night, after police received a complaint about a loud party.
The arrested foreigners comprised six men and three women: one Australian, three Britons, four Ukranians and an American.
Police found 4 grammes of cannabis and 0.94gm of cocaine in their possession, and also seized several bottles of liquor and loudspeakers.
They were initially charged with violating both the emergency decree and the Phuket governor's order banning crowd gatherings.
