The Brits were arrested partying in Thailand
The lads, named by police as George Oliver Hoskins, 23, Saul Alan Jones, 22, and Stuart Alexander McDonogh, 29, were among nine foreigners and five Thai women partying in Phuket on Wednesday night.
Cops in Thailand say they were at a party where drugs had been taken
It was in defiance of a strict curfew and lockdown on the coronavirus-ravaged island, which is one of the worst hit Covid-19 areas in Thailand.
Pictures show how party-goers were crammed into a small, hot room - despite social distancing guidlines.
Officers stormed in and also allegedly found cocaine and cannabis at the party, which was in violation of an 8pm curfew on the island.
Cops said they raided the party after furious locals complained they were being disturbed by the noise.
Fourteen "drunk" party attendees were arrested including three Brits, an Australian man, one American man, one Ukrainian man, three Ukrainian women and five Thai women.
The Australian national has been named as Al-Mouzafar Mohamad, 22 and the American as Russell Robertson, 32.
Officers also allegedly found six bottles of booze, one bottle of energy drink and two bottles of pop - as well as confiscating 4.04grams of marijuana and just under a gram of cocaine.
Police Colonel Aekanit Danpitaksars said the 14 revellers are in custody while the case is processed and they can be sent to court.
The police chief said: "Initially, they will be charged for violating the royal state of emergency act by gathering in a crowd in a small space and possessing ...drugs."
The bust comes just days after cops raided a secret sex and drugs orgy being held in the middle of a coronavirus lockdown.
Furious neighbours called the police after horny locals partied non-stop for 48 hours in Chiang Rai, in the north of the country.
Phuket - one of the world's most popular tourist resorts - is now ranked the fourth most infected province in Thailand with 71 confirmed cases, behind only Bangkok.
Phuket has taken strict measure to contain Covid-19 and announced a lockdown and curfew from 8pm until 3am on Monday.
Land and sea travel to and from the island has been banned until April 31 and flights will stop from April 10 onward.
