Falang Carried Away On Stretcher In Soi Diana

[rafval]

he was rumored to be dead, certainly unconcious, bleeding badly and the restaurant door glass smashed, beaten by 4 guys apparently, the farang media turned up and photographed and videoed him for 5 mins or so as he bleed to death with no medical assistance and then he was carried away on a stretcher

What time did this happen?

Thanks for the newsflash.

If the beatings continue and Pattaya's rep spirals ever downwards, surely tourist numbers will eventually fall.

Reading all these posts on TV makes me think twice about going there for a short break and I've been in Thailand for a while.

Is the allure of it's bright lights so strong that punters will keep coming?

Living in Pattaya is a good reason to give up drinking completely, if only it was that easy.

Evidently he did it to himself

I do hope this guy is ok, but he should learn to limit his alcohol consumption.

I know its sometimes hard but enough is enough and at least he was not fighting, it appears it was a drunken accident..

No doubt when he gets his Bill from the Hospital, it will teach him not to drink as much next time, he won't only have a headache from a hangover, he will have a headache with the Bill !!!!!!

An expensive drinking session.

I guess hes lucky someone noticed, I would assume he was near the back of the place if he fell down the stairs, he was lying next to the front door when I went past, right where the glass would have fallen had the door been smashed from the outside which seems a little odd

It should read Conny Andersson not Comy Anderson in the linked news report.

I don't think the local media has much of an impact on tourists. Only expats with time on their hands would bother with the local papers or television.

Police did not go inside because the glass door was locked. The authorities and nearby neighbors then decided to break the glass in order to get inside and help the victim

How stupid are the police?

There was a Swedish Formula 1 driver with the same name who raced for Surtees & BRM in 76-77 could this be him?

Scandi lads are legendary when drunk. (worst in the world) Prob slipped and hit his head. Hopefully he learns a lesson, but I doubt it.

[snuggzzz]

The alleged over intoxicated comments made on this thread is laughingly insincere, this poor bloke whatever his condition needs help, whether self inflicted or not.

With the original report of an attack, has anyone looked into the circumstances....??

Surely you don't expect an answer to that do you ????

Maybe he did it while jumping out of a plane sky diving - apparently he is a legend when it comes to sky diving here in Pattaya - i think he has the nick name like flying belgium or something.

Maybe he took a flying leap from his steps - couldn't give a rats - i have met him several times - absolute pig - i have always wondered how he managed to stay in business.

Rhetorical question?
