Norwegian threatens to electrocute himself at Jomtien Restaurant

[Cats4ever]

It seems he is an Ex patriate pining for the fjiords.

[kennypowers]

37? He looks 60! Time to hit a detox spa.

"Pattaya, Pattaya, all the weirdo farangs from all over Europe, la, la, la, la, la"

[ggt]

Somebody...stop me!

[AlphMichaels]

Yet another slimy rock has been turned in the shallow end. If he's only 37, testament to the fact he cares little about himself.

[soalbundy]

The police wanted to assist a Norwegian who was threatening to throw himself on to a transformer, how, by giving him a leg up

A true viking.

More like "A Moron of Epic Proportions !"

A 'real' Viking (descendant)

He's not a Norwegian Blue is he ?

[jinners]

Plenty of more bargirls in Pattaya no need to kill yourself over one. The guy appears to have some serious psych problems.

and most likely some serious alcohol problems to go with it

[animatic]

The is absolutely no reason to get so amped up over a bargirl, plenty of fish in the sea. What a revolting situation.

Worse still to get amped up over a bargirl getting amped up over another bargirl..

[marko kok prong]

I see he had the presence of mind to take a bottle of water up there with him,was this for drinking i wonder or to aid in his electrocution bid.

[empireboy]

Clearly his drugs are not working

[atyclb]

perhaps the gesture is a symbolic protest of his steak arriving medium rare when he ordered "well done" ?

[beowolf2012]

frankenstain or what???

Maybe he was embarrassed about forgetting his MasterCard and thought he could charge dinner.

"Plenty of more bargirls in Pattaya" no need to kill yourself over one. I wonder who has the serious psychological issues?

[tingtongteesood]

Attention seeking idiot, shame he didn't do it, one less idiot....

[dezeure]

Another fine quality Scandinavian...

did they really say JUMP onto a transformer? He probably couldn't even climb it without a ladder. and what a waste of electricity that would be

[route8]

Was he hooked up to a Battery Chicken????

[Zumteufel]

Wow. A lot of assumptions and hating going on here. I'm more baffled by the comments than the story.

[KonKorat]

I wonder if he will be charged!

[route8]

NEGATIVE

[Frank James]

I was going to come up with witty remarks about this strange case, but you guys have got it covered. I hope he stops drinking long enough to figure out it doesn't have to be this way.

[fatdrunkandstupid]

Watt is shocking here is that the current transformation of this bright spark's relationship would get him amped up enough to electrocute himself. Conduct such as this should be resisted.

[transam]

Not yet a comment of quality tourist ?

Sorry, just read it...............

"Yet another quality tourist"...............................

I was in Pattaya decades ago. There was this gay farang Elvis impersonator (who was as ugly as sin and tone deaf) fighting quite violently with his lady boy girlfriend. They were both hopelessly drunk. At the peak of the fight the farang climbed up a pole that (fortunately) mostly had low voltage phone lines hung on it. The lady boy screamed at her boyfriend to come down, and when he didn't, also climbed up the pole. They argued again up the pole, exchanged a few more blows, and then the farang fell to the road below and died. In the days that followed the ladyboy was arrested and charged with making an obscene clone fall.

i wish he would have done it....the story would have been more news worthy and entertaining to boot. Too bad no one encouraged him to end it....shucks.

Seems as he is '' a bit of a live wire.''

Good play-on-words, but a sad story about someone with serious mental issues.
