Chinese tourist’s bizarre antics shock Pattaya

[webfact]

A Chinese national attracted attention when he exhibited erratic behaviour on Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya, resorting to self-harm by smashing his head with a rock, last Saturday, January 20.

 

The shocking scene unfolded in broad daylight, triggering immediate concern from alarmed onlookers.

 

Quick-thinking passers-by wasted no time and alerted the authorities, sparking a rapid response from the police and rescue units. Their coordinated efforts aimed to provide urgent assistance and prevent the man from causing further harm to himself.

 

Upon arrival, emergency rescue personnel administered preliminary first aid to 42 year old Chen Wei, who was discovered with head injuries and bleeding. Following the initial treatment, he was swiftly transported to Pattaya Memorial Hospital for further medical attention.

I bet he listened to TAT and brought his wife and kids to Pattaya thinking it was a seaside resort........must have been gutted to think he could have, maybe, come here without the family.

Picture looks like he's between a rock and a hard place.

Looks like he got out of an insane asylum which is befitting....

From the linked article - "substances" were involved.

Should perhaps read:

" Following the initial treatment, he was swiftly transported to Pattaya Lunatic Asylum for further mental attention" ...

I find it hard to believe no one took pics for Instagram, or uploaded a TikTok clip before making the call.

I find it hard to believe that anything could shock the inhabitants of Pattaya.

Preliminary investigations unveiled that Chen had been socialising with a group of Chinese friends before the distressing incident. It is reported that substances consumed during their gathering may have contributed to his altered state. Initial medical assessments highlighted signs of disorientation.

 

Ahhhh

Seems like the 'after' picture, as he's already bandaged.

But, then he would have been free to roam the streets.

Classic case of being between a rock and a hard place!

[RichardColeman]

If anyone thinks he will be better when he gets the hospital/asylum bill then I think they should be in the hospital bed next to him

Thought I was going to read about one not spitting everywhere, blowing his nose contents on the floor or queuing orderly at some buffet or other.

 

Ah well, never mind.

The picture is taken after the photocops arrived; at least five of them, all trying to justify their pay to the gullible public.
