BROKE INCOHERENT FOREIGNER THREATENS TO COMMIT SUICIDE : Pattaya Daily News

A foreigner has been coerced out of committing suicide at the Green Pattaya Hotel earlier today. The foreign man had allegedly run off on a taxi fair, claiming to have run out of money.

Pattaya, the 24th of November 2009 [PDN]: Police Lieutenant General Chonphat Nualak received a call that a foreign man was threatening to commit suicide at the Green Pattaya Hotel, at approximately 1:30pm. Lt Gen Nualak sent officers to investigate along with the Sawang Boriboon Foundation.

At the scene police were confronted with an unintelligible foreign man, standing on the edge of a 5th floor balcony threatening to jump. Police managed to stop him from jumping after a short while.

Police obtained a statement of the afternoons events from the taxi driver who was also present at the scene, Mr Panya Sealim age 49 (driver with the Bangkok Taxi Cooperative). Mr Sealim explained to police that he had given the foreign man a lift from the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport to Pattaya for an agreed price of 1,500 baht. Upon arriving at “The Tops” on Central Pattaya Road the man requested to get out, speaking to another foreign man on the roadside before proceeding to run to the Green Pattaya Hotel, where he proceeded to attempt to commit suicide.

A search of the man revealed that he was travelling without a passport and only had the credit card of a Mr Alexander Clouch age 34, of German Nationality in his possession. Police managed to comprehend that the foreign man had taken the taxi from the airport to Pattaya but did not have the money to pay for the fare, so he decided to commit suicide.

The police remain very sceptical of the whole situation as the young man in question still seems not to be fully aware of what he is saying. Officers will keep the man in custody until his mental state is improved, at which time he will be further questioned about the events surrounding this unusual incident.

Jesus H Christ.

What a f*cking mess that guys in.

Travels from BKK to Pattaya with no money??? What a fuckwit... Should have let him jump...

lots more to this story.........

I don't understand how could he arrive to the airport without passport and why he took a taxi to Pattaya if he was without money.

I'll say!! The guy is off his nut!

Somewhere along the line there is going be some yamma and a bargirl involved ....

Got to have previous mental helth issues

He can obviously afford a few pies.

The poor man is downright confused as the Taxi driver obviously reverse drove all the way from Swampy to Pattaya (gearbox problems) and when he arrived he thought he was actually leaving to go home. :)

Not the first.........won't be the last!

I think there will soon come a time when all foreigners entering Thailand will have to lodge some form of surity money at the point of entry into the country ie 30.000 baht and if you fuck up like this numpty you loose yer deposit.

When it comes in remember the various numpties like the star in this post ,, these are the twats we will ALL have to suffer for

sounds like the guy needs help.poor buggers in a right mess.

He looks quite young too, gotta be more to this story

How did he get thru the airport no passport ? More to the story i presume

Broke farangs in Thailand should either jump or be deported.

If they introduced such a bond visitors here would drop to almost 0.

It would be great for Cambodia and Laos though.

So what happens now? Lock him up? Set him free? Send him home?
Call the same Taxi driver to take him back to where he found him?

should that not read Onut?

There is nothing to say that he actually ARRIVED at the airport by plane. He could have been seeing someone off (not the taxi driver!). In which case he wouldn't necessarily have had to be carrying his passport. He seemed to know his way around Pattaya, identifying a roadside "stranger"!

Maybe he was pissed off about the taxi driver overcharging?

Obviously not a meter taxi then, surely he would've asked for the guy to use the meter?????

Oh look, how wrong I was....so was the taxi driver doing him a favour by charging 1,500bht??? I think not. So the taxi airport scams continue as normal..why aren't the police questioning the taxi driver on his fare charge???? :mid:

Well there is one sliver lining the BIB can't charge him to get his passport back..which is the usual scam they pull as well!!!

Maybe he was also drugged and robbed in BKK and found himself in the airport...just lucky he didn't stray into King Power and get proper turned over....:rofl::spin::mid:

One night in Pattaya makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Pattaya and the tough guys tumble


Farrangh Ding Dong ?

The guy obviously has mental health problems and needs medical help. Lets hope that his embassy or some kind sole will provide it for him.

Should have made him clean a few toilets form skipping on the fare.:)

Bit of a drastic way to avoid paying a taxi fare

:rofl: I assume that you are joking. Every bloody one of us would be locked up. It`s bad enough being screwed as it is without giving them money upfront.

Weird.

I aint joking and neither am I suggesting this should be the way to go . but in the current economic climate you couldnt blame them for coming up with a similar idea , after all why should a country with allready depleted resourses pay so much money to police these idiots ?
In England now despite all the fukin tax we pay if you call out a fire engine , hit a crash barrier , lampost etc you get the bill for it , all Im saying is dont be suprised if something like this comes in and if it does it will be because of twats like this

^ I don't know of any other country that imposes this kind of draconian regulation... I can't see how Thailand could impose it without huge repercussions...

If someone is stupid enough to fly into a foreign country without having sufficient $$$ to cover their ass, well, som nam na...

agreed , but to be honest it pisses me off a lot when entering the kingdom knowing idiots like this have come through in front of me and the Thais ( who can blame them ) view us all as such potential trouble

Where do you see the scam there? Outside Bangkok taxis don't need to use the meter but have fixed prices. The official price to Pattaya actually is 1,500 baht I think.

seems pretty obvious to me, his first trip to Thailand, he fell in love with a Pattaya ho, she went up to the airport with him to say farewell, loads of crocodile tears as she gets his last money out of him, says goodbye and goes to check in, turns round and sees her walking out the airport with another John who has just landed, so goes running out after her, but too late so jumps in a taxi and says follow that cab........then we get to the OP.
