Drunken tourist attempts to trash restaurant by Boonlua Chatree

Pattaya police detained a drunken Russian tourist, later identified only as ‘Igor’, after he attempted to destroy a small Walking Street restaurant.

Officers arrived on the scene when the owner called for assistance. They found the man throwing chairs, tables and a beer bottle around the area. Police handcuffed the soused man and took him to the station for questioning. Two of the man’s friends joined him.

Russian liquid courage created an eventful arrest.

Along the way one of the tourists threw his gold chain on the road forcing police to stop and collect it. The three Russians tried to escape by attempting to take the handcuffs off their friend.

Arriving at Soi 9 the trio refused to enter the police station, again forcing the officers to use a little muscle power. The tussle lasted over 30 minutes until police had to call the men’s tour operator to talk to them. Once they understood the situation they calmed down long enough to be questioned.

According to the restaurant owner, Busarin Prasiton, 18, the man had tried to destroy her property and sent her customers fleeing in fear. She called for 2,000 baht in compensation for damages sustained to both her business and property. The man agreed to pay the sum. Police recorded the incident and the tourists were set free with a warning to behave themselves.

- Once again its not the British with yobbish behaviour!!!

Is it the Rusian mafia trying to make a little elbow room?

He should've been deported on the spot or at least detained for a while.

The first phrase in Russian I learnt “stop don’t shoot” the second “I love you”. Not a good idea to use them at the same time.

Or get them mixed up when a moscow cop has his gun drawn on you.
