Mounds of Ecstasy pills found by police after wide-scale operation in Ramle in 2002. (Alon Ron) Last update - 17:02 07/12/2007 Two Israelis arrested in Thailand for possession of 23,000 Ecstasy pills By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Israel, drug deal, Thailand  Two Israelis were arrested Tuesday in Thailand after police found 23,000 Ecstasy pills in their possession, the foreign ministry said Friday. Israeli Consul Hanoch Amadi in Bangkok said he expected the two to be held for a long time for drug-dealing. The two were arrested during a wide-scale police operation on Kwasan Street in Bangkok, where many Israeli tourists tend to congregate. Police also arrested a number of other Israelis at the same time, but some were released on bail and the others were released when it was clear they had no connection to the drug deal. Amadi, who is in contact with the local authorities, told the foreign ministry that the two arrested are receiving legal aid. The foreign ministry updated the families of the two Israelis about their arrest.
