snoop1130 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hallucinating Finnish tourist evades rescue during late night skinny dip in Pattaya Image: Viral Press An hallucinating naked Finnish man spent three hours trying to evade rescue workers after going to for a late night swim in Pattaya on Friday evening. Witnesses say Timo Perttola, 32, who is believed to be on holiday in Pattaya had been drinking in bars along the beachfront when he had what rescue workers described as a ‘strange turn’. Police and rescue workers were called after Timo took off his clothes in front of stunned onlookers before jumping off a pier into the chilly sea water below. More than three hours later and rescue workers were unable to persuade Timo, who by now was more than 1km out at sea, to climb aboard one of their two rescue boats. Timo was apparently convinced the rescuers had come to attack him. Eventually he climbed aboard and was taken to hospital where he received stitches for a small wound. However, no sooner had he been seen to by doctors he checked himself out of hospital and disappeared into the night. Marine officer Kittichai Satadchacha, 26, said: “The man just ran to the end of the hill and jumped into the water. He swam to the middle of the bay and I hurried to inform staff to help. “I don't know how anybody can swim in the sea for that long at night time. Whatever he had eaten he had a lot of energy.” A spokesperson for Pattaya City Police said: “He was hallucinating but we don't know why. He had a slight injuring that he received stitches for but he was very agitated. “After receiving medical treatment he was allowed to return home. We have no explanation for his behaviour.” -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-3-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalblue Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 All that fecal matter and urine entering that wound on his head. Sadly he probably caught some kind of viral infection. No word on what happened to his clothes and belongings? Basically just jumped in naked and left all that matters behind. Hope the guy gets well soon.

gk10002000 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Checked himself out and left without paying the bill? No doubt the staff just didn't want to bother man handling him at the time. Try being sick and fragile and owing a bill and I bet you won't be able to walk out of the hospital so easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Obviously a bad reaction to drugs and/or alcohol. Very glad to hear the BIB take it all in stride. For all their bad reputation for corruption they do do a remarkable job when they encounter a psychotic/high/drunk member of the public. They very much try to deescalate conflict. At least that has been my experience. Whether a local Thai or tourist, they try to calm things down. Good for them and glad the guy is OK.

I know of many other tourist orientated countries...where at the very least he would have faced the court and asked for a payment for the boat/fuel/overtime/ medical expense etc...... instead he goes home with a mai pen rai.

He's lucky to be going home at all. Swimming while off your head is not highly recommended, especially when the water looks like poo soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have to ask our resident specialist "Eddie --the nose" about that...he is renowned to be able to spot Hugh pipes that where only installed 4 years ago--& claiming his 5 minutes of fame for reporting them.

He had a slight injuring that he received stitches for but he was very agitated. “After receiving medical treatment he was allowed to return home. We have no explanation for his behaviour.” Don't suppose he was given a blood/drug test to determine what someone slipped him? Yes people, including myself, have been slipped a micky a few times over the years in some popular Walking Street bars, by the staff. By the time I realized what had happened it was too late!
