Troubled Hungarian living on streets in Phuket Town

PHUKET: -- Hungarian Farkas Gyula – who was found wandering in Kamala on January 11, apparently at a complete loss, and was “rescued” by Tourist Police – has now turned up barefoot on a street in Phuket Town.

When he was found in Kamala, it was believed that Mr Gyula might be suffering from Alzheimer’s, so he was put into the Sunpalm Kamala Beach hotel and his family were eventually contacted and arranged a flight for him to return to Switzerland, where they live, next Tuesday (February 4).

But Mr Gyula did not stay put. This morning Jintana Choobua, receptionist at the Sunpalm, said, “He paid his bill and checked out on January 15.”

Last night The Phuket News came across Mr Gyula, sitting on the pavement outside Vachira Phuket Hospital.

Failing to get cogent answers from him, and noting that he could not walk because of damage to his feet and badly swollen ankles, The News called the tourist police.

Pol Sen Sgt Maj Wichit Pongsapung said, “He does seem to be distracted. Anyway, he will be sent back home on February 4. We [Tourist Police] have already contacted the Hungarian consulate in order to assist him, and to inform his family.

“He likes to get food at Vachira Hospital,” he added.

Wiwat Kanjanapanit, a security guard at the hospital, told The Phuket News, “I have encountered him on many occasions in the past 10 days or so. He is not a patient here.

“I heard the motorcycle taxi drivers saying that he walks back and forth between the Tourist Police station and Vachira Hospital. Each morning, they say, he walks to the hospital, and then each evening he walks back to the police station and spends the night there. That’s all I know.”

Pol Maj Urumporn Koondejsumrit, Tourist Police inspector, told The Phuket News this morning, “The consulate has informed us that they have the ticket for him to go back home on February 4.”

They "believed he may be suffering from Alzheimers" and put him in a hotel ???????????

The poor guy needs to be evaluated and treated medically, if that has not been done already.

How is this guy ever going to be able to or allowed to board an Aircraft in his confused state ?????????

No Airline will accept him as a passanger in that state even if accompanied by a family mmber or other person.

He has to be "Cleared Medically to Fly" and approved by the Chief Medical Officer of the Airline he will be flying on.

Another obvious case of "kicking the can down th road" by both Thai authorities, his Embassy, and his family

Have a nice trip back home, mate.

Sorry whats so funny about this mans tragedy?

At 66 Costas2008 had better hope he does not have any decline in his health that depends on the generosity of others. I am NOT AT ALL superstitious but I have to admit that Thailand does seem to hand it back as good as it gets it. Costas2008 better hope that my observations are just a limited data-set rather than conclusive analysis of this effect!

If you put yourself in this man's mind for just a minute it is a VERY scary situation. He appears to be holding onto the only reality he can grasp and is surviving on the good nature of fellow human beings....

Costas2008 is not one of these!

I think if we laughed all the bs going on in Greece, he may wake up.

What's troubling about being sandwiched between two tourist policeman?

Well for one thing, most men would not enjoy being sandwiched between two other men, never mind between two policemen...

OK I will bite......

Seems just like 2 coppers are helping a poor bloke out, your semi homophobic slant aside did you have a point to make?

I take it from this you have been sufficiently humbled. Thank you for your honesty. Have a better day.

I think he's just being sarcastic

You are very wrong......don't know what came over me at that moment.....and I sincerely apologize to all the people offended.

Oh that 'famous' Greek humour that we all know and love???? <deleted>.

Another person who didn't read the whole thread and have now made a fool of themselves.

Costas2008 has already apologized TWICE now. How many more times do the TV saints want?
