Koh Chang station chief Pol Col Apisak Kamnert sent in his men after being alerted by a homestay owner on the holiday island that a foreigner was going berserk smashing up his room.

 

Amid much noise and damaged items in the room a 58 year old Swiss man was taken into custody.

 

A stash of marijuana weighing 29.79 grams was found hidden in a dental floss box.

 

He admitted buying the drugs for 500 baht.

 

An initial urine test at the station came back purple indicating drug use, reported Daily News yesterday.

 

Further tests at Koh Chang Hospital confirmed the presence of marijuana and methamphetamine in the man's system.

 

He was detained at the police station and charged with possession of a Class 5 (ganja) restricted narcotic. 

 

Neither the name of the man, the homestay or the reason for the upset was given in the article, notes ASEAN NOW. 

 

Thailand's tourism authorities have said in recent days that they are trying to attract quality tourists to the kingdom post pandemic.

Yes bit strange to think that marijauna caused this there are almost no cases of it causing violence unlike methamphetamines and alcohol for instance. Anyway looks like an idiot.

I didn't even notice the T-shirt.

 

And I'm deducting points from him for not having enough fashion sense to wear a black facemask.  Some people just have no style.

No mention in either the Daily News or Asean Now article as to whether he was a "tourist" rather than a long time expat. Either way, I suspect there will be more cases like this as "crazy" tourists arrive under relaxed entry rules. So much for the "quality tourists" desired by the Thai government.

That image reminds me of a time when (whilst intoxicated) I foolishly fell asleep at a friends house party and my "friends" went to town with a magic marker on my face whilst I slept.

An ounce for 500bht is a bit of a bargain .......... that would cost $200 in the USA.

Swiss nationals are usually well behaved and I have never seen a swiss person, looking like that.

 

Is he swiss or did they need something "swiss" after the health minister's stunt?

What he lacks in presentability, he clearly makes up for in negotiation skills.

I'm just confused as to why he came here instead of dating one of the Kardashian sisters.

We all make choices as to how we behave and what we put in or on our bodies.

 

This Swiss fellow took a different path than I would take, and no doubt neither of us could understand the other's choices. Given his current predicament, I guess at least some of my choices work out better in the long run.

Hmmm... Not to worry! Just another failure in the row of many. Just play Goosie Gander and the water will run straight off.
