Drunk Aussie tourist marks rough landing in Phuket

[DerringDo]

On the rampage but no damage - sensational journalism at its best

[chiang mai]

Somebody else has got to take the blame here AS WELL. Either he boarded the plane in that state or he developed his condition on the plane, either way! And how did he get through Thai Immigration in that state, so many opportunities, so many failed chances.

The man, named by police as Christopher Lazarus Boubis,

The irony. In my language, which isn't Australian, we have a saying that goes . " he drunk himself lazarus "

[ronthai]

Give the man a brake, he was just happy to be back in Thailand and the steward(esses) should have stopped him drinking.

I am sure he has NOT learned his lesson, but the Thai bar ladies will teach him.

What an entrance! I'll hope the local newspapers put investigative journalists to follow his adventures.

I can hardly wait for the reports of jet ski rentals, brawl on the Bangla road, engagement announcement with a girl with hockey stick..

Facebook, twitter and instagram are for those, who can not make the newspapers to the status reporting for them.

[Minnehaha]

He was probably filling up the tank for the dry weekend and overshot it a bit.

A good play on words, a brake is exactly what he needed!

Great name "Lazarus"

In Dutch it means, you are drunk like a skunk..... He could not have a better name

Guys like that, just kick them out.... Oh, now I see that he is in Patong, Phuket. No worries, mate, you are in the right place

In Dutch it means//// Wasn't that a bible guy?

And then some posters wonder why some Thais look down on the foreigners......

Difficult not to when they're lying prostrate on the floor.

[laobali]

So, who let this idiot on the plane in the first place?

Maybe he drank his own duty free on the flight.

Yep and nobody would have a problem if that would be outside a 7 eleven.

Or the duty free drank him.

Yes true, us aussies would love to be American or European ?? What garbage ! Obviously an aussie stole Blackmirages girlfriend and he blames the country.

What is the drunks name "Boubis". I would wager he was not even born in Australia, we can hold our booze better than that.

On the subject, I would not be surprised if more than alcohol is involved. Most planes hand out drinks slowly these days, and certainly most will not serve you if you are drunk. And if he was already blind drunk, they would not have let him on the plane.

Looks like the nurse is giving the guy a nice kick.

Took the words right from my mouth. I am not defending an obnoxious tourist, but isn't kicking a man when he is down also extreme behavior?

Naa, not here...

She should kick him on his left nut, what a nut bag

[mrtoad]

An appropriate middle name.

What a total imbecile.

[You can call me Al]

By letting him continue his holiday the Thais are just throwing him to the wolfs. With his attitude the Boys on Bangla will eat him alive and i'm sure the cops know this,

Let's rather not open that can of worms on Western vs Thai character!

off the plane more to the point

[kkup]

Lighten up, he's on holiday havin fun, no one was harmed.... he'll be telling this story in bars till the day he dies.... But the ball hangin out is a bit much.

[GAZZPA]

Only ignorant people generalize based upon the behavior of 1 individual.

[Malthus101]

BLACKLIST.

[petespipes]

the name Boubis is most likely from your country black mirage

There's holiday fun and then there's being a despicable, disgrace of a man.

And a human.

As I said. Blacklist this dirt for life from entering Thailand.

[dotpoom]

Whatever you say, a lot of good hearted people between the hospital staff, the lady he groped and the police, to let him go on with his holiday without making problems for him.

[unanimosity]

Oh my god... this almost makes me ashamed to be a Farang.

Perhaps, you should be ashamed, but it would be for your behavior not your country of origin, race, ethnicity, age, gender or any masochistic, xenophobic, self-hatred indulgence....well, maybe those last ones do apply. It's not who you are, it's how you are.

[godden]

One for his family album, and this is dad when i was employed by Australian foreign office. made my day, fair dingkum

[fatdrunkandstupid]

Stupid is what stupid does. The real crime here is that when this <deleted> gets back home with the new paper cliping in his grubby <deleted> mitts he will be a hero amongst his other bogan brethan.

You aint seen nothing yet...Songkran fast approaches, and with it, Patong is transformed into a zoo of drunken tattooed animals storming the streets with their beer chang and high powered water pistols.

Why is it that only talented musicians choke on their own vomit?

I would happily read that this scum arrived at Thalang hospital DOA.

Oh, by the way, I am Australia.
