Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Posted April 19, 2023 Picture and video courtesy of Daily Mail and Viral Press. Video footage and photographs have emerged of a British tourist who came close to losing his life while swimming off the coast of Pattaya last month. The tourist, who remains unidentified, got into trouble while swimming and was able to make his way to a buoy, where he was eventually rescued by a passing fisherman in his boat. The young British tourist, believed to be between 25 and 30 years old, was spotted clinging to the buoy two miles off the coast of Thailand. Video footage shows the holidaymaker, who appeared to be intoxicated, standing on the yellow float in his swimming shorts at around 7am on Wednesday, March 29. Despite his precarious situation, he was seen smiling and waving at a passing boat, hoping to catch a ride. In the footage, the tourist can be seen wobbling slightly as he launches himself off the buoy to swim to the boat. He then climbs aboard and staggers on the deck while catching his breath. The British tourist, who appeared unsteady on his feet, tells the captain of the boat that he woke up and thought it would be a good idea to go for a swim.

Then it is about time, after all half of Bangkok, all of Chiang Mai and most of the plod belong to them already. Not even mentioning Sihanoukville , Pnomh Penh and anything in Cambodia that does not belong to Hun Sen and affiliates. Malaysia....well, they'll have to build re-education camps first such as in Xinjiang so someone can work in the car factories . All hail to Winnie-the PoohPooh. Need a licence for irony , mate?
