Police in Patong dealt with a chaotic late-night incident involving a Brazilian tourist who climbed onto the roof of a massage parlour on Thaweewong Road, while behaving erratically.

 

Officers arrived at the scene after reports of the disturbance. The tourist initially appeared to calm down and agreed to be taken to Patong Hospital. However, upon arrival, he became delirious again and started more erratic behaviour, with hospital staff unable to control him.

 

Authorities arrested the man on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct, which posed a risk to himself and others. He was handcuffed, restrained and handed over to investigators to process at Patong Police Station for legal proceedings during the early hours of 23 August.

 

Police urged residents and visitors to remain vigilant and report similar incidents to ensure public safety.
