An Austrian man was rushed to a Bangkok hospital after experiencing severe abdominal pain, only for doctors to discover 255 methamphetamine pills inside his body, one of which is believed to have burst from the bag, causing a medical emergency.

 

The incident occurred in the early hours of 11 June, when medical staff at Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital in Bangkok were alerted to an emergency case involving a foreign national who had arrived from Don Mueang International Airport. The patient, later identified as Mr. Gantner Wolfgang, 43, an Austrian national, was suffering from seizures and was in visible distress.

 

Upon arrival, doctors conducted an examination and were alarmed to find pink fluid being discharged from the patient’s rectum. A CT scan revealed multiple round-shaped foreign objects inside his intestines. Part of one such object had already dissolved and passed out of his body and was suspected to a narcotic.

 

Medical staff immediately alerted the police. Officers from Hua Mak Police Station, led by Pol Lt Col Wachirawit Kongkraisasit and supervised by senior anti-narcotics officials including Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom and Pol Maj Gen Pallop Aermla, responded to the hospital to investigate.

 

Upon examination, police confirmed that the object in question was the remains of a methamphetamine pill. A total of 255 red, round tablets bearing the imprint “WY” were found in a bag, still inside Mr. Gantner’s digestive tract. The pills are classified as a Category 1 narcotic under the law.

 

Medical staff performed surgery to remove the pills.

 

All seized narcotics were handed over to Hua Mak Police investigators, who have launched a formal criminal case against the Austrian national. He will be charged under drug trafficking laws once he recovers and is deemed fit for legal proceedings.

I'm glad he recovered but I somehow doubt that he is.

Nearly dies, and then faces drug traficking charges.

What do they learn from this? Make the pills brown, not pink.

Would have been the ultimate trip 🤓

[Packer]

He ran to the hospital at 475mph. 

[JJ-Thailand]

One more idiot!

[Photoguy21]

So what it is saying he was a drug mule. I feel sorry for him but at the same time no compassion for him. He knew the risks and still decided to do it.

[PETERTHEEATER]

All seized narcotics were handed over to Hua Mak Police

 

Later, an officer was heard to comment "This is some really good s××t"

[Toby1947]

More drugs to top up the B.I.B. tea fund. 🤣😂

[shocky2012]

It reminds me of the situation with Andrew Grande. You can see the video below. Sensitive viewers beware… all that over a bag of weed. Poor guy, you can see the horror in his face.

So this Austrian was smuggling meth from Austria to Thailand?

Seems to me he's got his directions all confused.

Hope he has my rich tea biscuits as well.  We had a deal.

[CanadaSam]

May we know where he came from with these pills in his ass?

What a waste he made.

That is the most common type of narcotic here.

Did he ever  believe his"imports" will get him any quick riches?

Total act of idiocy.

And it is also why he committed  such a stupid crime.

Another Quality Tourist made a funny headline.
