Here comes the cavalry! Desperate Foreigner pictured with Thai police on Pattaya march

 

Picture: Facebook

 

A destitute foreigner who featured on several Thai social media sites walking from the north east to Pattaya looks to have found some uniformed help - the Thai police.

 

 

The man - who it was earlier reported was walking to Pattaya without any money - is believed to be Russian and was pictured flanked by two female officers and a male cop.

 

His plight was featured by Jureewan Reuangdech who said that he was even filling up a water bottle in the toilets.

 

She asked people who met him to chip in and lend a hand.

 

He had reached Udon at one point but his exact location now remains unclear.

Daft as a brush!  No money; no honey.  Pattaya police weren't helping out; they just light up as soon as a camera is produced.

Why was he walking to Pattaya with no money. Surely he should of detoured and gone across to

So yawanna boomboom airport. Wait there for an air ticket home.

No money?, definitely no honey !

No wonder all Caucasians in Thailand are presumed to be 'poor' these days.

Maybe he was poor and randy, hoping for a freebie in Sin City...

Looking at the photo, i notice something missing !!

No high ranking police, so his plight is not being taken seriously, or photo would be filled with senior police.

[mok199]

i'm pretty sure that's where he is. some locals probably gave him some food whilst they waited for his transport to immigration detention no doubt. what else are they to do. doubt very much he had an up to date visa etc. feel sorry for the guy and don't know his story but the process to get him to his home country needed to start. scavenging for food and drinking tap water he was only going to get sick real soon and what then?, very much doubt he has health insurance

[Chang_paarp]

According to an earlier story he was going to Pattaya to meet up with a friend who would lend him some money.

 

Good luck with that..

[imaderbyfan]

Reckon he could be the culprit for stealing the Ant Mans ants....

 

[champers]

He could make a few Baht suing media outlets, who call him desperate, for defamation.

I guess that is much safer and cheaper

 

[grumbleweed]

Thai police... cavalry???

Someone's got a weird sense of humour or a very poor grasp of the English language

They probably lost too much money by paying the outrageous National Park entrance fees.

Thumbs up is rude in Thailand.

 Seems to be a Russian thing, anyone remember the Russian couple with 2 kids hitchhiking to Pattaya a couple of years ago ?

Looks like  Abromovitch 's son  ...............

[balo]

Send him back to Mother Russia.

[maximillian]

I'd buy him plenty of food and water if ever I'll meet him.

Went for a two month ride in France with my two horses.

Although I had a sound budget, I was met quite often with great hospitality.

Given food and shelter for the horses and myself.

When travelling by yourself it feels just wonderful to meet good people.

Best wishes to that guy, wherever he comes from, wherever he is heading for.

Yea, left John Terry holding the fort in a bamboo hut in Buriram while he went for help. The contract with Buriram Utd fell through.

A forlorn hope! No mention of his status... do Russians only get 30 days without a Visa?

[Morakot]

The Thaivisa commentariat is missing the point.

 

We are looking here at the Russian Toon, who is walking the country. Once he arrives in Pattaya, there will be Uncle Tu and General Rolex with the Thai media waiting for him for another photo opportunity...
