They say don’t drink and drive. Maybe a night on the town in Pattaya should include wearing a parachute. Just sitting down near an open window can be hazardous to your health.

Pattaya police rushed to Queen’s Hotel situated on Pattaya Central Road after a hotel employee reported an accident involving a foreigner. Police found the injured man, later identified as 25 year-old British national Paul Laycook, lying on the hotel’s ground yelling in great pain. He had a severe knock on the forehead and was seriously bleeding through the nose and mouth.

On the night of the accident, the ill-fated foreigner was reportedly in a drunken condition. Witnesses said Paul was sitting near the window in his 5th floor room when all of a sudden he fell out of the window. He plummeted onto the hotel entrance’s sunroof before hitting the hard cement ground.

Paul endured major injuries on the face and skull and was rapidly transferred to Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
