Russian man in Phuket: drug solicitations via QR codes uncovered!

An incident is causing a stir in Phuket that could have far-reaching consequences. 27-year-old Semen Kasparian from Russia is accused of putting QR code stickers on streetlights in an alleged connection to drug trafficking. These stickers were discovered near the Andaman City project in Cherng Talay and contain not only abbreviations for drugs but also a QR code that leads to a website called THAIHUB.TOP that requires registration. This platform offers its content in both Russian and English and is suspected of serving as a conduit for illegal drug trafficking. [Today] reports that Kasparian was recorded on surveillance cameras applying the stickers at 2:15 p.m. on October 31, 2025.

He was apparently well prepared with a black Honda motorcycle (model ADV 160) with registration number 1กอ 8416 Phuket, which he rented from a local rental company called Cool Rental. Police have since filed a complaint against him for illegal drug advertising and an arrest warrant was issued by the Phuket District Court on November 5, 2025. This raises questions about security and the possible connection between technology and illegal activities in the region.

QR codes and their functions

QR codes are widespread today and offer numerous possible applications. Originally developed by Denso Wave, they enable quick and easy interactions with digital content. They are known for their versatility and can be used for marketing purposes, customer loyalty or collecting feedback. To understand how QR codes work, it is important to know that there are two main types: the static and dynamic QR codes. Static QR codes are permanently valid and can no longer be edited. Dynamic QR codes, on the other hand, can be edited and offer the advantage that the number of scans can be tracked. [QR Code Generator] offers various pricing plans to enable QR code creation.

Copyrights and music on social media

Another point that is important in our tech-savvy world concerns the use of music on platforms like Facebook. Users must adhere to Meta's copyright agreements to avoid problems. When it comes to live events, there are usually no restrictions. However, posts without visual content are often muted or blocked if copyrighted music is used. For example, if someone uses music in their content, they need to make sure they have the right licenses to avoid legal trouble. [Cloud Cover Music] makes it clear that users must be careful with their content, as repeated violations can lead to serious consequences.

The Semen Kasparian incident in Phuket underlines once again how modern technology can be used as a tool for both innovation and illegal activity. The consequences of his actions could have far-reaching effects on public security in the region.
