webfact Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 After two months, British man remains barricaded in Phuket Town condo Australian-born Brit, David Maclean, 50, from Brisbane, is seen leaning out of a window at the condo on Feb 2. Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: After two months barricaded in a Phuket Town condo amid an extended dispute with the landlord, Australian-born British national David Maclean, 50, from Brisbane, remains locked in the apartment despite police previously assuring that action would be taken when his immigration permit to stay in the country expired on Feb 21. Mr Maclean has not left the condo, located at the “Supalai Park at Phuket City” complex on Nakorn Rd, since Jan 14 amid a dispute with the landlady over paying the rent. Repeated attempts by police and representatives from the British embassy to convince Mr Maclean to at least open the door have failed. The situation escalated on Feb 2 when police became concerned that Mr Maclean might jump from the balcony of the ninth-floor condo, prompting Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana to arrive at the scene along with high-ranking Phuket City Police officers to assess the situation.

AWillOz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 A ???? powered circular saw and in one minute the door won't be there. It's only a couple of hundred dollars to replace.

Police have a tendency to let these things just play out. He will need food sooner or later and Thais have a wonderful ability to wait patiently. I remember a few years ago when random breath testing started to become common, there was a case that got a bit of attention where a woman got pulled over for a breath test, was possibly over the limit so she simply locked the doors and stayed in the car. About 8 hours or so later, she decides she is no longer drunk, and winds down the window. Police test her. Never heard if she was booked for something but the police patiently waited her out. She must have had a bladder the size of a baby elephant's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been left alone in his walrus* scented condo if he paid his rent and had an up to date visa. *© Nyezhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Even though it was reported that he had barricaded himself in, you wouldn't think that a rented condo would have enough to stop someone determined getting in in short order. Unless he is an ex-sailor who understands bracing.................. Make sure someone is covering the windows and kick the door in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb17 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Does anybody actually believe this? Water OK - you can drink from the tap- won’t kill you. Enough beer and food for two months? I have met a few people ( weirdly always American - they love these fads) who proudly pronounce they are going on a water fasting diet- maybe if he is still there - just trying to lose a few pounds.

They could also get someone to swing down from the above balcony, Iranian embassy style. Wondering if they know if he's still alive anyway, the head out of the window pic is almost six weeks old.
