A Taiwanese man was arrested in Chonburi after wreaking havoc with a baseball bat while under the influence of drugs.

 

In the early hours of 23rd June, chaos erupted at a Jomtien condo in Chonburi when a 22-year-old Taiwanese man, Chen Wei-je, went on a drug-fuelled rampage, using a baseball bat to smash his neighbours' doors. The Immigration Bureau of Chonburi, in collaboration with Pattaya police, swiftly apprehended Chen and a 25-year-old Thai escort known as Ms A.

 

Police found 6.56 grams of crystal meth, drug paraphernalia, eight mobile phones, two 9mm bullets, nine baseball bats, two batons, and two stun guns in Chen's apartment. Chen, who entered Thailand on a student visa, was instead found indulging in a lifestyle of drugs and illicit activities, often hiring escorts to participate.

 

Investigations revealed Chen's repeated drug binges, where he would regularly disturb neighbours. He also posted videos of drug dealings and encounters with escorts on social media.

 

Chen confessed to using crystal meth for over a year, claiming he bought it from local youths and collected baseball bats for exercise. He admitted to taking the bullets from a shooting range as souvenirs. Ms A confessed to being hired by Chen multiple times for entertainment.

 

Authorities have charged Chen with possession of a Class 1 drug, illegal possession of ammunition, and drug use. Ms A faces charges for drug use. Both are now awaiting legal proceedings.

What is Pattaya or Phuket for $5000000000?     Correct.

 

Google tells me the most unhinged, drugged-up sexpats search for Pattaya and Phuket 1 billion more times than MooBaan Uttaradit.   

 

Head down, don't talk, and once these places are 1000 km away, breathe.

I'm not condoning his behavior, but this Guy knows how to party!
