In a bizarre turn of events early this morning, a Chinese tourist, Wang Yunbin, created a scene of vehicular chaos on Pattaya's Third Road. The 32-year-old, visibly intoxicated, lost control of his black pickup truck, smashing it into parked motorbikes and a car before vomiting and passing out behind the wheel.

 

The incident occurred around 4:30 am on April 17th, with Pattaya Police responding to frantic reports of the multi-vehicle collision in Soi Chalermprakiat 21. Upon arrival, officers discovered the engine of the wrecked pickup still running and Wang slumped inside, struggling to stay awake.

 

Two motorbikes were toppled over on the road next to a blue car that sustained rear damage. Despite the scene of destruction, the vehicle owners were not immediately present. Bystanders reported Wang's failed attempt to escape, which led to further collision with the already-damaged car, leaving his own truck worse for wear.

 

 

 

In a shocking display, Wang exited his vehicle, vomited on the spot, and subsequently tried to continue driving. His futile efforts to sober up by forcibly vomiting again through the window added a surreal twist to the drama.

 

The police managed to rouse Wang from his stupor, noting his disoriented attempts to contact someone. Taken to the station for a breathalyser test, Wang now faces legal repercussions for his actions. Authorities are also on the lookout for the owners of the damaged vehicles to include them in the ongoing investigation, reported The Thaiger.

What, check EVERY driver out after 4 am closing time? 

Well not every driver but pretty much every one using the road where they are set up. Some years ago my Mrs would pick me up after I had been out, and she was very frequently stopped. A few words with the policeman and they let her go, but many others were being asked to blow into the bag....

In the last couple of years it is as if the traffic police have just given up, and one can see the deterioration.

Nothing bizarre here 

 

It's just your average foreigner doing what foreigners do in Pattaya.

Both the officers AND Wang were struggling to stay awake.

Police are invisible except beach road looking for tea money, they should be out in force with drink driving checks

 

That isn't a very good idea. Half of the drivers will be intoxicated in varying degrees. You are probably one of them.
