Drunk Australian falls through front door of Pattaya Police Station

[myfriendu]

Bloody ozzies always trying to out do us brits

[steven100]

is this another ' quality tourist ' ?

[tropo]

I seriously doubt the accuracy of this reporting.

I've never seen an Australian drunk.....

.. and I've seen many Australians sober too.

He was suspected of being drunk, but people do trip and fall even when sober and people do walk into glass doors. My sober wife is guilty of that. He's wearing flip-flops too, not the most stable of footwear.

[weegee]

NO!!!!!....It's not me Transam!!!!

Now, Carry one......

[Suradit69]

What's the bet? The door will be replaced with the same type of glass ..ready for the next victim.

I was wondering how the blame would be shifted onto Thailand. TV never fails to deliver when it comes to making a "blameless" farang the victim of the sinister Thais.

[Gecko123]

Sipi, Sipi, Sipi.

Shame on you.

[Suradit69]

good to see another compatriot promote ozzie culture and values...

nothing like being from down under and making a dick of yourself abroad.

" making a dick of yourself abroad."

Just guessing but I bet he's equally talented back in Oz,

[Emster23]

Lets hope that he was charged with public drunkeness and destruction of property.

Well, story seemed to say he was leaving police station. I thought might be going to turn self in when first saw headline....

[Ulic]

I prefer, "Over served Australian falls through.............."

What a good idea. Next time it might lead to an unfortunate if timely demise and may raise the collective IQs of both countries

[1duckyboy]

Building codes in many Western countries require tempered glass in glass doors so when broken they shatter into small, harmless pieces. Most cars have laminated windscreens and the rest of the windows are tempered glass. This way screen doesn't shatter while the car driven, causing an accident.

[mydee]

Looks like a Collingwood supporter

No Bookman. He only has one head and no prison tats

[onemorechang]

This is disgraceful.

All you bar owners hang your heads in shame.

Don't give Australians real beer, it never ends well.

[12DrinkMore]

Just another Bogan having a typical night out.

[silent]

What's the bet? The door will be replaced with the same type of glass ..ready for the next victim.

What's the betting that you don't know what type of glass was originally fitted and that you couldn't make a suggestion for a better replacement?

Why do you describe the drunk as a victim?

Why? I bet you've got a hole in the ground somewhere waiting for an accident, but not really sure if it's the same as yours' or not, so no need to making it safer because you know it's there.

[lineofentry]

I thought wired glass was the choice in doors. Never imagined vehicles could have less than standard laminated OEM.

Wired glass has a fire rating not a safety (break safe) rating, it is used in fire doors, but in smaller and higher panels. Toughened and laminated glass both have safety ratings for hazard areas in buildings. The disadvantages of toughened glass in windscreens are obvious, toughened glass is used elsewhere in vehicles.

[impulse]

One more data point.

The wee hours are for sleeping.

I've never fallen through plate glass cutting zzz's, no matter how drunk I wuz when my head hit the pillow.

[botfly]

Another village looking for their idiot.

[mancub]

Ouch !..

Hope he didn't go in there to report his wallet being stolen, as he's gonna need to find it pretty damn quick now !

[sawadee1947]

one of these Quality Tourists again....

[LostDemocracy]

What's the bet? The door will be replaced with the same type of glass ..ready for the next victim.

"Victim"? As an obvious Thai knocker, you'll be saying next that this violent unprovoked Thai door, jumped out and attacked this poor, innocent farang bystander.

You've got watch our for those Thai doors.

[Basil B]

In most countries the door would have to have toughened or laminated glass...

Even putting a adhesive plastic security film on standard glass would be a big improvement. a good quality film can prevent the glass from breaking in most instances, and if the glass does break it will not only hold the glass together preventing injury but also maintains a degree of security.

[cracker1]

What

No safety glass in Thai public buildings ?

Should I be surprised ?

[lineofentry]

Brand new fully glazed sliding PVCu patio doors purchased from large outlet - fitted with 5mm annealed glass, these are potential killers, be aware.

[Jing Joe]

So many video clips, news items and TV doco's here in Oz about the Australian Embassy needing to help so

many Aussies being drunk, drugged and irresponsible idiots in Thailand.

Sure its warm there but; shorts, singlets and thongs as a dress standard?

The glass of the vodka bottle didn't break! No problem all the way around as he couldn't feel anything.

Not a lot of vodka , you mean a bottle of Bandaburg Rum

[NeverSure]

Safety glass today is mostly tempered, not laminated. Tempered shatters into tiny pieces rather that shards that can slice someone up.

[dhream]

In fairness to my young friend here, I've fallen three times since I've been here as an expat, never as a long long standing (Hurr!) tourist. One time I was very drunk. 12 big Beers! The other 2, not focused on the crappy terrain that passes for carpark and mall public areas. So far no stitches...

So... a guy who is drunk falls through a door and cuts himself up and it's the fault of the RTP, the Thai people, Thailand, the air in Thailand or anything Thai and couldn't possibly be his own fault eh? Some people will go to any level to kick Thailand won't they.........

By your logic, a Thai drunk driver crashing and killing others isn't at fault because the vehicles should be made stronger for "the next "victim" ...
