British man self-harms at his Central Pattaya home

PATTAYA: -- In the early hours of Saturday, Police and medics were called to a Central Pattaya house to assist a British man who had reportedly self-harmed.

In the front porch of the house, in Soi Arunothai, was a 27 year old man known as “James”. He was lying face-down on the ground in a pool of blood and appeared unconscious for a time. Medics saw a series of cuts to both his arms and were told by a friend the injuries were self-inflicted.

Eventually “James” regained consciousness and saw lights from video cameras which angered the man who began to chase on-lookers, including reporters, down the street.

Eventually Police were able to control the situation and sent the man to Banglamung Hospital for emergency treatment.

Talking to neighbors and friends of the man at the scene, it appears he was suffering from a health problem which required regular trips to a Hospital in Bangkok.

BKKJames?

Hope your OK mate.

Pattaya sure attracks its fair share of troubled people.

Medics found him face down unconscious with cut on both arms, friends said they were self inflicted. So did the friends try to administer first aid, pressure bandages to slow the bleeding or did just go back to thier noodles. Friends normally wouldn't leave a mate face down and bleeding out.

No not friends, they were "friends".

Pattaya sure attracks its fair share of troubled people.

And nowhere else does. I'm sure even Bangkok has its fair share of crazies, criminals, troubled people. No need to pick on Pattaya.

Been known to. When I was mugged and knocked unconscious I was saying goodnight to a farang friend who was behind the grill gate of his apartment building. When I woke up in hospital I had no idea what had happened and friend was nowhere to be seen. That friend is now known to me as 'deserter'. Edited March 9, 2015 by Keesters

It sure seems a lot of misfits congregate here. Of course, the sensationalist reporting has a lot to do with it--while some is fabricated or embellished, some you just could not make-up. I have always thought those who believe they are the only sane one in the group are the ones at greatest risk. They're coming to take me away ha ha, ho ho!

And for all the slagging that Thais take in these forums, one can only imagine (and be sympathetic with) the views they must hold of westerners.

[Jungle Jim]

Agree Dan: Can you understand why i avoid the majority of foreigners here both tourists and expats. Pattaya and the other tourist slums seem to be a magnet for these people both men and women. Just imagine how many go unreported. Wonder how many more today will add to that list.

If there wer eno westerners in Pattaya................ There more or less wouldn't be a Pattaya worth anything!

He's not joking he's telling the truth. Farangs basically discovered Pattaya and their money makes it what it is today. Take away the farang and you have nothing unless of course somebody else came along. But you can't change history I suggest you study some.

You'd think the people who constantly slag the place off and have been here over 10 years would know that.

i have dealt with lots of self harmers, some serious in their intent, others attention seekers, still makes my skin crawl.

so right you are, pressure bandages, blanket over patient etc, but above all the first responders safety is paramount

saw a farmboy come into the local medical centre, he had almost severed his arm up to the elbow, the clinic staff were tops in his treatment

simple first aid can and does save lives

do a course lads

He probably does but that wouldn't stop him from having his daily anti-Pattaya hit. If he doesn't live here why the childish need to condemn it all the time. Jealousy. Get off the jungle juice Jim.

Why Why so many people come to LOS and self harm or jump/fall of buildings ???They can do this in their own country this gives the country a bad name,,,,LAND OFF SELF HARM,,,,<deleted>,,,NOT GOOD ,,,

[macksview]

had a mate an ex-soldier, seen some action in the past.

he had been to thailand doing training and been once as a tourist

he worked on mining projects on fly in fly out contracts

one night back in aus i got a call from him, drunk and serious, lying in a bed in phuket, with the aus flag over him and xanax in a bottle, complaining of the nightmares and his aus wife

talked for hours, he did not suicide, flew home to aus, and followed my advice to get help through veterans affairs

to this day he cant explain why he decided thailand was the place to end his life

be a mate, it can help, just listen

Come on. I don't think I would live in Pattaya but its a great getaway with some of the best people watching in the World. Great reasturants too!

[Keesters]

There is a fence. It called the close TV button. You don't have to come here. You don't have to read Pattaya news but if you do at least you could be civil about the place and not constantly slag it off. What do you expect to happen. A mass exodus from Pattaya to Jim's home in the jungle. I'm sure you'll like that. There's a saying "If you don't have something nice to say don't say anything." You would do well to act in it. Don't let the door hit you in the face as you exit the Pattaya forum. Bye.

And on the subject of brain cells how many does it take to avoid a place and its forum that you hated so much?

[macksview]
