Pattaya — A drunk Russian man reportedly broke through a glass door of an entertainment venue on Pattaya’s Walking Street after being unable to pay for his drinks. The man also allegedly punched a pursuing guard’s face.

 

Pattaya police rushed to a nightlife venue, Dolls, on Pattaya Walking Street at 2:30 AM on Friday, July 29th, after a report that an intoxicated tourist had run through a glass door and sustained several cuts after having a verbal altercation with a staff member.

 

The Russian man was found intoxicated with injured wrists and an injured left arm. He told Pattaya municipal officials coming to his aid that his name was Viago, 25, without providing his last name immediately.

Rather odd that he had much of his 500 Baht in 20 Baht notes 

Why would his money be in 20 Bahts ?

Tried a whip-round.....????

Well, Prayut's new initiative is certainly attracting the Russian " high end, well heeled tourists " from his preferred countries of choice who he wants to see more of in Thailand.

 

We just need the Chinese * breakfast buffet locusts " now.

 

 

Was trying scam. Do a runner while they counting money. But too drunk to succeed. Idiot.

Not that I have much sympathy for Russians right now, but the story could just as often be, and often is (put in Farang of your choice) gets drunk refuses to pay bill, get aggressive etc… Could even be Thai. Good gawker news, but that’s all.

Agreed, but the timing's a bit off though. 

This on the same day as news of Aeroflot's planned resumption of flights during October between Moscow and Phuket.

Well maybe British Air needs to up their game.???? He’d be just as happy. A Baht’s a Baht.

Criminal culture.

I would think after 2am they were operating illegally yet they still called friendly cops

Saw a Thai doing that before... exchanging 2x 1000 baht note with 20 baht notes at the bank. Apparently it saved money, as it would make purchases look more expensive, or something like that.

 

Maybe this bloke had a Thai girlfriend sharing the money management tips? I'm sure going into a gogo bar wasn't her advice, though...

Change from previously paying for 60 or 80 baht beers with a 100 note ? I always wake up with a pocketful of 20's and sadly never a 500 or 1,000 ????

Don't think he bought any beers, it was either a whip-round or he raided the collection box for the local Temple....????

Theft, vandalism, assault which resulted in injury, drunk in public.

They should let this guy rot in jail for 30 days then force him to pay.

If I were a Russian , I would fly under the radar...Oh well..Deport him to Ukrain...

Maybe an attempt at self-control to stop him spending too much in bars!

Of course, they did, that's what bar owners pay their "retainer" to the police for, permission to be open and action when called upon for this sort of thing

If he tipped 25 girls 20Baht each in one night he would be an idiot!

Did I miss it---or has no one mentioned what the Check-Bin was ?  I know in places like patpong -BKK--you were ripped off, strong armed into paying a lot-- I dont know if that was the situation here or not.

900 Baht. So little money for so much trouble. Definitely didn’t get ripped off. I would have thought he rang the bell by accident with such a todo.

He's a busker? Like the guy who did Michael Jackson impersonations and then go spend in the GGB nearby. 

These Russian guys are ....(don't need a suspension)....
