Naked Canadian tourist causes Phuket pandemonium

'David' is apprehended by the police.

PHUKET: Tourists walking into Jungceylon normally attract little attention.

But a Canadian tourist, named by police only as “David” – he didn’t have his passport with him at the time – provoked a mixture of shocked screams and laughter when he climbed over the wall between his hotel, Sleep With Me, and the neighbouring shopping mall last night (April 8).

The 28-year-old was completely naked, and not a little drunk.

Patrol police were quickly on the scene and fitted him with a pretty set of steel bracelets before carting him off to Patong Hospital to sober up and calm down.

was looking for a nudist beach?

[thepool]

Hospital ?

A comfy cell with steel bars would have been more appropriate!

Followed by a court appearance, a huge fine and deportation.

[Guest]

he didn’t have his passport with him at the time

I bet he didn't even have his wallet with him. Was he thinking that the shops at the mall would give him stuff for free?

I think a 500 baht fine and an apology to the jungeceylon should be enough.... no damage and no harm to anyone.

[Goompa]

Just looking for the doughnut king !

Another quality farang tourist arrives.

I keep posting this comment, can I have it "pinned"...........

[Dogmatix]

I hope the police will warn David to be sure to carry his passport with him the next time he goes for a walk naked. A pouch carried round his neck would be the ideal solution to comply with this very important Thai law.

The copper's got his mobile out making a video - next to go viral on youtube.

Yes, but you would NOT wanna be the one tasked with flicking through it for evidence.

And the mystery deepens as to why Thais don't think of farangs as role models to emulate. Haven't finished this thread yet, but I'm sure someone will blame his behavior on Thais and Thailand.

[ezzra]

" he didn’t have his passport with him at the time" Duh... did you look up his butt's crack??

He probably did but the policeman who was married and straight said no way am I putting my hand up there

[alphaboy123]

Why is it that the average farang looks so ugly

next to the average Thai/Asian? this holds true

both for men & women, to say nothing of children

... incredibly cute, especially the boys ... nothing

like in the west. where they look far older than their

age, & totally lack charm, joy & liveliness!

[Somtamnication]

Jesus....was not carrying his passport. Wonder why? This journalist should work for the WSJ.

Said it before, I'll say it again. Only a stupid person would judge a nation on the behavior of a few individuals.

If Thailand don't want to attract these low lives (who are in every country without exception) then they should clean up their act so that the quality of tourists improves.

Thailand should understand that their lack of clear policies and effective policing gives the country a reputation as a destination for the sex trade, cheap booze and cheap hotels. Add to that sunny weather and what do you expect. The county needs a good hose down.

This guy should be made an example of and deported back to his country after paying a hefty fine. But i suspect he will just pay a little money and be back in the bars the next day.

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, the vast number who come to LOS are the "quality" tourists like in this thread. I think most of us AND LOS know that. They/we put up with it cos their cash removal is paramount. Stop the &lt;deleted&gt; tourist then what are we left with, a vast reduction in cash for LOS.

Well... if Thailand didn't sell beer so cheap, this may not have happened.. So who is the real culprit?

[IamNoone88]

The TAT is doing a great job.

Ah what harm only to himself. naked is not shooting or threatening. Look away if it offends. Everyone makes errors in life

[TechnikaIII]

It is people like this drunken sack of diarrhea that promote the enforcement of 90 day reporting.

[Donnie Brasco]

Is it something about the long cold winters up there ?

First Rob Ford and now this quality tourist.

Bring back the footy-fools, I say ;-)

Not too many naked men have WALLETS, OR PASSPORTS.
