Broke Ukrainian Man Causes Chaos at Patong Police Station

[webfact]

A Ukrainian man damaged public and private property inside the Patong Police Station and caused a public nuisance, reportedly due to being completely broke and having no way to pay for a ticket back to the Ukraine.

The Patong Police told the Phuket Express that the Ukrainian man became nervous and mentally unstable due to having no money to go back home to the Ukraine. The unidentified man had been staying at the police station for several days with police providing him food and water while police worked with the Ukraine Embassy to attempt to find a way to return the man home.

 

On Sunday (January 14th), the Ukrainian man caused a public nuisance at the Patong Police Station after seemingly suffering a mental breakdown, damaging some property inside the station and frightening other people present. He was taken to the Patong Hospital and psychiatric medicine was given to him to calm him down.

I wonder if he was pulling a Klinger, in hopes of a Section 8.

Send him to the front.  More broke weirdos to come.

[Gottfrid]

There is a perfect solution. Message Putin, and he will pay for yet another soldier.

[Purdey]

I had thought when you entered Thailand by plane you had to have a return ticket.

[Conquerbrqvilok]

Send him to Mister Putin 

[Foroitalico]

this brave man is ready for the front. Putain, cringe in fear

[Olmate]

Dont bite the hand that feeds you.

[shackleton]

You do know that the person in this report is from Ukraine and Putin is Russian, don't you?

And you do not need one when you have a visa. 

[brianthainess]

He'd rather be jailed or hospitalized than go back to war, and who can blame him for that. 

[IamNoone88]

Not going to end well for him. Likely destined for the meat grinder courtesy of their also insane President Z.

[stix40]

Possibly the first of many 

Including russians getting low on spondulies !

A Ukrainian?

[DjSilver]

He should get asylum in Thailand, with an allowance of 50k baht/month with a free condo. And all should be paid by the new tax that all Russian war criminals coming to Thailand have to pay.

What makes you think he doesn't want to "go back to war"?  If he was drafted to fight, he'd likely still be under arms, or, if he was discharged after serving the 18-months of service, he does not have to go back under arms.

 

I think the odds are more likely that he ran back in 2022 and has finally run out of money, or family support.

Depends on your visa

Yeah, it went a little bit wrong there. Unfortunately, I saw it after edit time was gone, so just have to live with it. Maybe Putin can get an infiltrator.

Yeah, he will be shot at the spot.

Go and fight for your country instead of getting wasted. Better yet ask your corrupted president to send you some of the billion dollars he got from US and allies.

He was given this but instead of waiting to solve things decides to get crazy.  It’s simple, make sure you don’t go broke before booking a return ticket like a responsible adult.

Detained?

[neeray]

Some pretty cruel comments here that show no empathy whatsoever. We don't know much about him or what drove him to this state. I can just imagine the agony of no money.

[newbee2022]

Actually I don't believe his story.

No money? I doubt it.

I think he's afraid to be send to the front and fight for his country. 

He doesn't want to die but enjoy life in Pattaya. Now Zelensky will pay for his ticket.

🙏

Perhaps Phuket police can arrange a transfer to Pattaya😂
