hawker9000 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thailand likely has the highest percentage of foreign alcoholics in the world. Another quality tourist. If Thailand banned alcohol the tourist numbers would drop by the millions and likely millions of less problems. Such precision. Such objectivity. So concise. No exaggeration or hyperbole there at all. Opinions and observations so well researched and supported by verifiable facts. My, you surely do get a lot of mileage out of a story of just one lost drunk! Another one of those who believes foreigners are the cause of all of Thailand's problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sorry did i hit a nerve ? Not All problems but many foreigners do tend to cause a lot of problems.

petercool Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 How did they know he was American if no documents. !!!!!! The full article says that he remembered his name etc and where he was staying so - as the article continues - they knew where to send him on his way.

VINCENT2012 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 this is the kind of person i would never help, too stupid to be dead drunk like this lying on the floor. i have a resort and i meet many crasy people.....sometimes i understand why thais , when they see farangs with these stupid attitudes. so many times, think we are all the same.i mean this way of being is not acceptable, at least for me.

lvr181 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 "Therefore the police had to check his belongings in order to find where he stayed so they could take him back home. However the police officers didn’t find any documents." So they just left him there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not drunk looks more like heat exhaustion from another high end tourist nothing to worry about a short nap and he will be just fine no need for a DNA test yet. Jim It was 6.30am in the morning! Plus the nights are quite cool now. I guess he'd been out all night on the pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamariva1957 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) "Take him home"? If they did that then he was lucky! In the States, he would have been taken to spend the night/day in the Drunk Tank after being charged (arrested) for Public Intoxication and would have been given an Order To Appear in court. Then there would have been the fine, court costs, and maybe, if he had a history of doing this sort of thing, given 30 or 60- days in jail (not prison... remember that in the US there is a difference) or been given a broom and rake and sent to the nearest Freeway to do his Community Service. We all act like idiots from time to time and so we should be ready to pay for that stupidity. But this is Thailand and so he should go and thank the plods that found him and took him "home" and buy them lunch!

Jungle Jim Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 totally agree. Thailand tends to attract a very high percentage of drunken idiots like this one. I can understand wht so many Thais dislike us. this is the kind of person i would never help, too stupid to be dead drunk like this lying on the floor. i have a resort and i meet many crasy people.....sometimes i understand why thais , when they see farangs with these stupid attitudes. so many times, think we are all the same.i mean this way of being is not acceptable, at least for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukguyinthai Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 An American on holiday had a great day and ended up pissed. So what! We have all done that. We don’t need to profile the guy. It’s probable that he has not had a good session for a long time and has now remembered the point at which to slow down the booze. Or is he drowning his sorrows because he didn’t use a condom. Ah well ……I suppose I just profiled him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thhMan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Fantastic News.... But.... Sorry, highlighting a few westerners with drinking problems or such is not going to justify the RTP lack of skills and Thailands lack of trustworthiness.... May as well begin reporting how clean the beaches are... ooops.. they are filthy.... Maybe the mating habits of a green beetle or something a little more positive!

konying Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Family marts are ok with dogs sleeping around, why did they call the police? would it not be wiser choice to call an ambulance when someone collapses?

KittenKong Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm surprised that anyone who wants to drink that much would come to Thailand to do it. Alcohol is quite expensive here (especially anything decent), and officially-sanctioned selling times are quite restrictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If he'd smoked some weed and fallen asleep he'd be branded a drug addict and condemned by the majority here, and also arrested for possession. Rightfully so , that would be illegal in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
