Crazed American wrecks his Hotel Room and harms himself following break-up with girlfriend.

Just after 10am on Tuesday, Police and Rescue Workers were called to a 6th floor apartment at the Ratagit Mansions in Central Pattaya following reports of a crazed foreigner who was harming himself.

Police arrived first and managed to calm down Mr. Mark Amerson aged 32 from USA. His room showed signs of a major disturbance and many of the walls were blood stained.

Following treatment at the scene by rescue workers, Mr. Amerson explained that he was angry and depressed following a break-up with his Thai Girlfriend earlier on Tuesday and he proceeded to wreck his room and then used a knife to harm himself.

Mr. Amerson is now receiving American Consular Assistance and his mental state is currently being assessed by Doctors.

"Crazed American".....

Is that not redundant?

If you have psychological weaknesses, then Pattaya, the city of บาป, with its diet of never-ending lies and illusion, copious drinking, hedonism, false promises and evil inhabitants, will expose them and do the weak unto death on occasion.

briggsy,your description sounds like jamaica lol lol.

No reason to harm yourself or your hotel room over a married to a Thai man lady, seex worker type girl.

Instead, I suggest hosting a grand party to celebrate your freedom.

I do feel sorry for this man and hope that he will recover soon. Seek out some counseling for sure.

He is lucky to be set free with only minor injuries.

Rat A Git Mansions?

Are we allowed to use 'Git' on TV?

HaHa. I'm rolling on the floor.

"My kind of town, Pattaya is,

My kind of town,

That shit-hole is..."

Negative - lose gf

Positive - gain new gf(s)
