South African falls off hotel balcony

Over indulgence led to accidental plunge

PATTAYA: -- A man vomiting over the balcony of his room in the Jomtien-Pattaya Hotel was seriously injured when he followed the contents of his stomach and fell five floors to the ground.

Police and officials from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation were called to the scene at 2:30 a.m. on October 27 where they found 28-year-old South African national, Engelbrecht Coezee, lying in great pain on the ground under a jackfruit tree. He was wearing only red shorts. His right shoulder was dislocated and his right leg was broken. He was taken to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

Officers questioned a woman identified as Miss Noriko, a 25-year-old Japanese national who had been taking care of Coezee. She said he had been staying in his room on the fifth floor of the hotel. He had come to Thailand to learn diving and had been here for seven months. She explained that Coezee had been drinking heavily outside so she brought him back to the hotel and then she left. Later the hotel called her and informed her that he had fallen from the fifth floor and was seriously injured.

Hotel staff told police that Coezee was intoxicated and had been standing on the balcony vomiting when he toppled over the edge and landed in the jackfruit tree.

He had come to Thailand to learn diving

I guess that wasn't part of the "diving" course.

Another farang acting with drunken stupidity in Pattaya. Here we go again, I guess this sort of event keeps the forum going if not entertained.

He can't have taken the accelerated course...He's too thick for that.I would explain it away as downright dumbness.....I mean with a name like that he has got to be an Africaana.

And now he took the beginners course (open balcony diver course) in sky diving. Only the landing part is still not perfect.

If at first you don't succeed......skydivings not for you

Does no one else find it disgusting that he was vomitting over the balcony, not like, er, in a bin or the toilet or something? What sort of scum bag voms over a balcony, what if someone was walking past? I'm glad he fell if only to teach him some manners.

This can't be his real name

Anybody fluid in German??

You can translate his first and last name to something like "vomiting angel"

Nomen est Omen, Patex

They would have cocked up the spelling of his name...it sounds like it should be Coetzee.
