PHUKET: The German man who was filmed causing public nuisance in Patong earlier this week was confirmed today (Oct 11) to be under close watch at Vachira Phuket hospital for his own welfare, said Patong Police.

 

“I received information about him at 1am as people had spotted him at around 3am on Oct 10 on Soi Bangla. He had climbed up the ‘Welcome to Patong Beach’ sign’s pole and initially refused to come down,” Capt Thongplew of Patong Police told The Phuket News.

 

“A crowd of people had gathered around,” he added.

 

“Patong and Tourist police asked him to come down from the pole. When he finally did, we took him to Patong Police Station, but he had no documents on him and was talking nonsense,” he said.

This is a sad and desperate situation. I hope this man finds enough help to resolve his situation.

 

At least his name was not put online for all to see.

Send him home

From the status in the report they didn't find any papers on him.

Also the 33 year age is a guess.

Asked in English where the man was from, the foreigner replied, “Germany.”

And that's the only indication that he is a German.

A crowd of people stood and stared,

They'd seen his face before

Nobody was really sure that he was from the fatherland.

 

Hmmm....there's a song in there somewhere.

I bet he is a junkie.

Mental health issues and travel a dangerous combination, hope it works out OK for him.
