webfact Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Confused Mystery Brit Found At Pattaya Bus Station An almost destitute and confused British national provoked the curiosity of staff at a Pattaya bus station, who eventually called the police. He was, however, unable to shed any light on his condition and was subsequently sent to hospital for treatment. Pattaya, November 11, 2010: A somewhat forlorn, Brit, between 40-45, was discovered asleep at the Rungrueng Tour Bus Terminal, North Pattaya, at 3pm on Nov10, apparently waiting for a bus. Concerned staff considered that the man could well have been the victim of a robbery and also on medication and consequently called the police.

MSingh Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I wonder if it was due to his " linguistic incompetence " that they worked out he was a Brit ?? Or the fact that he spoke anything but English, so must have been from London.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Pretty sure we saw this guy, he was just standing at the other side of the road and clapping. I took a video of him on my I Phone. We didn't know what to do as, he wasn't doing anything or hurting anyone, he was just clapping. Clapping slowly, fast in different rhythms, it was all a bit bizarre....!

Scott Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I wonder how long the hospital will treat him for 50 baht? I also wonder where the bus ticket was to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavefloater Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It says that he was sent to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for treatment. I can't imagine that with 50 baht to his name BPH would allow him to even use a seat in the waiting room, let alone treat him. From what I've read, that hospital does not have a good reputation for showing unselfish compassion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Rus, who hasn't had a weekend in Pattaya that wasn't deserving of a round of applause upon departure? Perhaps something for the local tourist board to consider...

HerbalEd Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 he doesnt look very british ..... more turk or middle eastern If you haven't noticed, there are hundreds-of-thousands of British citizens of Middle Eastern decent. However, no matter how many generations their family may have had British citizenship, many (most?) white Brits will never consider a person of color an "Englishman."
