Lucky guy.. if it were anywhere else he would be facing a driving suspension and possibly jail time

Not to mention potentially being squashed into roadside pizza.

I'm yet to meet a finish man who's NOT intoxicated, those guys can drink anyone under the table...

[Inala]

Taken safely back to his accommodation? ???? Only in Thailand. If he was in Oz he would've been locked up for DUI, facing a few thousand dollar fine and the loss of licence for at least 12-18 months.

Just saw ALLThaiedup's post above and realized I repeated almost exactly his same words..

Cheers????????????

[stoner]

It's got to be tough living in the country deemed to be "The happiest" for the past five years ????‍♂️

[jacko45k]

It is good that they took care of him, but I am more inclined to say he should have sobered up in the cells and been charged with drink driving or something.

[RichardColeman]

In cases like this, I am all for saying he has to go to hospital for a 24 hour 'watch' period and a sobering 40,000 baht bill

"Nope,,,, but come to think of it I am walking a little funny this morning". Amazing Thailand.
