He was from Lao. 500 baht...

Attitude adjustment and 50 baht fine if it ever goes to court. More than likely he knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who can get him off before it goes to trial.

Triple agreed. That stuff is the best sleeping pill ever invented. It's great for those long haul flights.

Really! 7 Valium and he would be lucky to be standing.

[Thian]

Valium is a tranquiliser if i remember well.

Is he tested for using yaba?

[DavisH]

Internet cafes won't take any responsibility for this...even though the guy was obviously unstable. A while back a teen was mucking about withe a little kid who was playing games in a cafe. Things got rough and the teen snapped his neck by reefing on his head. The kid died. It was all on their cctv. The teen ran off with some others - noone stopped to help the child.

[crazygreg44]

Oh yes, Valium tranquilizers sent him rocking! Not even the police can spell "DRUG" right . . . . . . .

unqualified report about unqualified remarks in an unqualified arrest

It is the original Thai news article (follow the link in the Coconuts article) that mentions Valium: แวเลียมเ

[tallfarang]

A quick google check and apparently you can go a little nuts on valium. Lots of links, here is just one

Indeed! How could anyone get high on Valium? It is a sedative and would put you to sleep if you took enough.

[Just1Voice]

Some years back doctors gave me a scrip for Valium. Just half of one would knock my ass out! He may have taken 7 of SOMETHING, but it sure as hell wasn't Valium!

[Vacuum]

Just like that.......

He probably bought them on the street...

[LukKrueng]

I thought Valium was supposed to make on e relaxed and sleepy... When I was traveling many years ago in Nepal I heard of 2 girls that took a Valium peel each on the bus ride fro Kathmandu to Pokara (200 Km' of dangerously winding road, a 10 hours journey at the time...). They slept throughout the trip, arriving in Pokara with nothing but the cloths on their body....

[SoiBiker]

A handful of valium might knock most of us out for the night. But this guy might be a regular user who's built up a tolerance. Valium is widely reported to cause aggression in some users.

In Thailand all things are different from the rest of the world: electricity works different, laws of nature are different...and now: someone getting "high" on Valium!

Must be a first in medical history!

R.I.P. to the victim!

Effects of Valium abuse.

A paradoxical effect is one that should be eliminated by use of the drug but instead, it shows up stronger when the drug is used. With Valium, these effects can include fits of rage or violence, aggression, excitement, irritability and hostility. A person may lose control of his impulses which can lead to anti-social behavior, especially among the very young and elderly. Some people may consider suicide. Others may become emotionally blunted.

Why let facts get in the way of laughing at Thailand, eh?
