Foreigner criticised for hammock stunt on Bangkok billboard - video

[snoop1130]

 

A foreign man is facing backlash after he created a video of himself lying in a hammock hung from a large advertisement billboard near Asoke Intersection in Bangkok.

 

Thai social media account Red Skull shared a video of the foreign man yesterday, June 23, with a caption that read, “Is this the same foreigner from the previous viral video, where he did freerunning on a BTS station and jumped onto a Thai man? Is he still in Thailand?”

 

The foreigner’s video opened with the caption, “You know what you need to do when you’re homeless.” The background showed the Asoke Intersection in Bangkok before zooming in on a nearby big billboard.

 

The video then cut to a scene where the foreign man was lying in a hammock, hanging from the billboard high above the road.

 

Many Thai netizens confirmed that this foreign man was the same person who had been involved in a similar incident in March. In that case, he had been freerunning on Asoke BTS Station near Soi Sukhumvit 14 in Bangkok, jumping from the station to a nearby building before jumping down onto the footpath.

 

Unfortunately, the foreign man landed not on the footpath but on the head of a Thai man walking past. Channel 8 reported that the victim was old and suffered an injury in the incident.

 

A witness stated that the foreign man neither apologised to the victim nor offered assistance, instead walking away from the scene as bystanders were left in shock.

 

It appears the victim did not complain to the police, as there have been no reports of the foreigner being apprehended or facing legal charges. Furthermore, he was seen repeating his reckless behaviour in a recent video filmed in Bangkok.

 

Despite the video gaining widespread attention online, the police have yet to take any steps towards initiating legal proceedings against the foreign man.

Mental health issues for sure, straight to the LooneyBin for this guy. 

 

[Korat Kiwi]

He'll try these tricks once too often,  and then the problem will be solved. 

[OneMoreFarang]

I think next he should try to swim in a klong for 24 hours.

After that stunt we won't have to worry about him anymore.

Most probably the only time he has felt "Well Hung"

His name must be Gordon.

 

He reminds me of a song from many decades ago by Jilted John called "Gordon is a Moron".

 

I will spare you the agonies of watching the video.

The 'look at me. I'm a nob' generation.

Some people are just wired in such a way that they need to be constantly pulling stunts and taking risks. Often, they eventually pay a price for their silliness.

I always found hammocks uncomfortable.

[ezzra]

Must be one of those ;show and tell' antic 'dare if you want' stupid act  to tell their mates back home ' look what i

have done in Bkk...

[Bundooman]

I'd love to see what other stupid expressions he could create if someone were to cut one end of his hammock.

Probably glad he left home to become a digital nomad, now welcomed in Thailand to boost tourist numbers.

Likely artificial insemination.

....i've heard they have smashing hammocks in the IDC these days!!

 

bob.

[rwill]

I'm surprised they don't go after him for using a monk's robe for a hammock.

[renaissanc]

He should be taken into questioning about the injury to the old man. He's clearly stupid and a danger to others.

[Thingamabob]

Pathetic attention seeking by someone who thinks he's funny. A spell in jail for assault would be appropriate.

Stories like this are like crack-cocaine to the old dodgers on here - nothing like a foreigner doing something rum to get them all frothed up and shaking their fists

Gen Zzzz

Looks like he's smacked out on drugs! 

[simon43]

Lol, I like how the Thai X user refers to the guy as 'มัน' = 'it' (a derogatory word usually used to refer to animals or low-class, obese Farang boyfriends of Thai bar-girls!!)

This is the natural look of ukranians and russians usually, i think he is from there.

Not about attention seeking or thinking to be funny but it is a few thousand dollars in views. Who cares anyway, if he falls and dies, it is on his own risk, that's what the police likely thought too lol, if we wait long enough he will fall down some day.
