What’s he doing here in the first place? One look at this guy in the airport immigration line and the authorities should have turned him around and sent this loser packing.

Going berserk ..................... present continuous tense.

 

went beserk ................. past tense.

 

Looks like he went berserk a long long time ago.

 

 

But it begs the question does he have an alibi or indeed, an excuse for his alleged berserkness, or should I say, his state of being or going berserk, present continuous tenses exempted.  English can be so wonderfully concise or devilishly imprecise in usage, it just depends on whether one is aware of parsing in the use of syntax. On that matter I claim not to be an expert.

 

An alibi is a special kind of excuse and to use it for "excuse" is to introduce ambiguity, and to diminish precision. If a man says, "I have an alibi ", one does not now know whether he means that he has an excuse or that he was elsewhere when the act attributed to him took place.

 

Other examples of ambiguous English are the use of "anticipate" to mean "expect"; of "disinterested" to mean "uninterested" and a more recent neologism of this kind is the use of "hopefully" to mean "hope". To say, "I am hopefully going to Timbuctoo", used to mean, quite certainly, "I am going to Timbuctoo in a spirit of hope". Now it can also mean "I hope I am going to Timbuctoo".

 

Mayhap this Swiss gentleman now wishes he holidayed in Timbuctoo, and hopefully so.

You have an odd opinion of Switzerland.  You don't understand the meaning of that phrase you like to throw around so much, "Fourth World", either.

i usually do not encounter these types in Monaco.  seems that Thailand attracts more than its fair share of uneducated low life's fyi, my father was born in Zurich and was a prominent eye surgeon in L.A. 

quite envious if honest

Er, so?

 

"seems that Thailand attracts more than its fair share of uneducated low life's".

You say that but you don't know what "fourth world" means (meant)!

Marijuana LEAF is legal now but not the buds (f/m flowers).  Lots of leaf on Lazada for sale.

 

No it would have been the meth that set him off.  Police found it in his system.  They dont call it yaa ba (crazy drug) for nothing. 

 

Yes ice and yaba can send you mental but if he also smoked marijuana it should have calmed him down i presume.

 

They should tests what they found and see what it is and what it laced with, it is possible it was laced with some <deleted>

 

Yes, his appearance is off, but  it does not mean every guy covered in ink is a nutcase 

The guy is so very clearly not swiss that it’s hilarious. This is the most childish thing every.

 

Anyways, the amount of tattoos someone has is inversely proportional to their IQ

What kind of self loathing makes a person put that much 'graffiti' all over themselves.

He's the Where's Waldo of tattoos, the one on his right hand says it all.

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.

 

Thailand has long had an attraction to the bottom of the barrel as the general lack of self-discipline needed to live here appeals to them. They can get away with a lot and don't have to try very hard to fit in with civilised society. AseanNow members excepted, of course. But there is a limit, of course, as Tattoo Man has discovered.

They all end up in Thailand!

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

Possibly why he's here. No doubt it costs even more in Switzerland. Kind of relates with my comment above.

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

Yup ! This man sure looks quality, and acted so.

UGH!  Probably berserk from all the tattoo ink.

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

 

Obviously there's different levels of 'quality tourists' this chap probably represents the middle to low tier!

How an earth did he even get into Thailand.

Lock the <deleted> up and throw the key away.

He's got 'winner' written all over him  - one of those tattoos must say that on the law of averages

 

58 years old and still being a complete  idiot and terrifying those in that homestay no doubt

 

Unfortunate that this moron will be all over the Thai press and not the decent and respectful visitors from many countries that obviously don't get the headlines

I think I seen him in a Mad Max movie 

I think I saw him in a bad acid trip back in the 80's. He made a pink fire-breathing dragon look friendly and cute.

 

So I'm confused 

On our recent road trip we saw many CBD oil/tea shops openly selling weed.

Even now you can buy a cannabis Pizza from Pizza company. 

 

So why bother with a cannabis test and so what if positive?

 

A fine example of the Farang Kee Nok! A great ambassador for his fellow countrymen. We have plenty of those delightful looking gentlemen from the UK here in Thailand too! Makes one swell with pride when reading about their behavior. 

Patong is certainly beginning to attract those quality tourists again. They all look related to this fine specimen.

Yes such a highly decorated, um, am searching for words here, I dont think quality tourist fits

The mas is preventing the cuckoo from extending......

This is why you don't do hard drugs in Thailand, aside of it being illegal, you have a high chance of going crazy. Knew a guy who set his guesthouse up in fire in Siem Reap after having had some. 

Looks like the investigation team got a confession by drawing all over him with a sharpie.

It's not a cannabis pizza, it is a pizza with useless hemp leafs. Businesses opening like mushrooms fooling Thais with that. Real oil shops do exist but would require a medicinal license too (which can be obtained).
