Pattaya police arrested a Turkish tourist who reportedly refused to pay his food bill on Tuesday night. Authorities also discovered a sachet on the man, suspected to contain ketamine.

 

The arrest occurred at 10:30 PM on October 25th on Walking Street, South Pattaya, Chonburi province. The Turkish tourist, whose name was withheld by the authorities, refused to pay his food bill at an unnamed restaurant located on Walking Street, prompting the restaurant operator to call the police.

 

Law enforcement swiftly arrived at the scene and arrested the tourist. The suspect appeared to be acting erratic and unusual and as a result police decided to search the man. During a search of his body, police discovered two sachets, one of which was suspected to contain ketamine. The other also contained a strange-looking pill.

Drugs are going to lead the world to it's doom. But with all the money involved and kickbacks at the highest level, nowhere close to stop.

Strange looking pill? Like a Flintstone vitamin?

That's his stay cut short...

Give him a free 90 day visa poor sod. 

Restaurants need to offer this...

 

..diners pay a lump sum upfront and get back the difference between that and the bill  when they leave............ plus a tip for how good a customer they've been.......

Why does no one point anymore.....DISAPPOINTED!

lol - what a muppet. He has a pocket full of drugs and then tries to do a runner at a restaurant. 

 

I don't think society will be missing out during his time inside.

Sorry but I do not trust the police due to their reputation for planting evidence. Why is no one asking why he would not pay?

"Why is no one asking why he would not pay?

 

Perhaps because they assume, as I do, that he was on a drug that rendered him out of his skull by the time it came to bill time, ie "The suspect appeared to be acting erratic and unusual"

 

A year ago, in a similar, drug induced condition, I refused to have anything to do with a medical team who desperately wanted to assess me for the possibility of an imminent heart attack......I thought they wanted to take me into my hotel room (which I absolutely refused to enter) to kill and dismember me for my money, passport and CCards.

 

Even when I started to recover (and was persuaded to enter the room) I insisted on checking the ECG machine because I thought it might be a portable electrocution device.

 

The whole episode, from descent into delusional, paranoid psychosis to recovery, lasted about 2 hours......so the young lady who was chaperoning me said.

 

It was not the longest drug induced episode I have experienced........but it was the most dramatic, intricately detailed, theatrical and, theoretically, dangerous one.

 

Perhaps he thought that if he stayed still in plain sight, kept his hands on his wallet and PPort, and waited to come down, as I did, everything would be OK.

 

PS I'm definitely hoping to return to Colombia sometime.

They found pointing was considered exercise so they stopped.
