Police in Chai Nat were called to a chaotic scene at a local resort on 4 January, where a 31-year-old man, identified only as Mr A, was found attempting to harm himself after reportedly drinking heavily for eight consecutive days.

 

Officers from Mueang Chai Nat Police Station and rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation arrived to find Mr A lying on the ground outside a room at the resort. He was visibly intoxicated, with a strong smell of alcohol, and had a bleeding wound on his left chest, just above the ribcage. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the wound was self-inflicted with a broken glass bottle.

 

Mr A reportedly confessed to authorities that he had been overwhelmed with guilt after committing a serious crime, allegedly involving sexual assault, for which he expected to face legal charges. Consumed by stress, he drank continuously and later smashed a bottle to use as a weapon to harm himself. The resort owner intervened in time to stop Mr A from causing further harm to himself and immediately contacted authorities.

 

The resort owner, who had employed Mr A for air-conditioning cleaning work for 15 days, stated that Mr A had checked into the resort earlier in the day without raising suspicion. Later in the evening, the owner found him lying on the ground, attempting to stab himself, and promptly acted to prevent further injury.

 

A resort staff member added that Mr A's behaviour had been erratic due to excessive drinking. According to a friend who dropped him off at the resort, Mr A had been consuming alcohol non-stop since 27 December, as part of New Year celebrations. He would drink until he passed out, only to wake up and start drinking again. This pattern persisted for eight days until the attempted self-harm incident.

 

Emergency responders took Mr A to a hospital for treatment of his stab wound and to assess his mental health. However, his erratic behaviour continued at the hospital, where he reportedly refused medical care and insisted on leaving. The situation escalated to the point that police had to intervene once more to restore order.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case and are working to ensure Mr A receives both physical and mental health care.

Yes indeed. Youngsters have no stamina these days.

Well sure hope they look into the alleged sexual assault crime he confessed to.
