More than 200 officials staged a sudden search at the Nonthaburi Provincial Prison at 5am on Monday.
The operation was part of a project to ensure prisons are free from illegal activities and contraband.
The officials searched lockers belonging to more than 1,000 male inmates, most of who are serving time for drug-related crimes.
These prisoners were also required to undergo urine tests.
The operation did not find any illicit items in the compound and no inmate tested positive to drugs.
