Misadventures of a British Tourist
As politely summed up in the headline of a report on the Pattaya Mail website:
British tourist survives fall from hotel balcony into internet café after heavy drinking in Pattaya
As clarified in the headline of the report on the Daily Express website:
Brit tourist covered in poo falls through ceiling in Thailand red light district
And here’s how the latter report detailed what exactly happened:
An incredibly unfortunate British tourist had to be rescued after falling through a ceiling whilst covered in poo in a red light district in Thailand. Paul Hadfield, 51, from Blackburn, Lancashire, was allegedly 'extremely drunk' when he returned to his room in the early hours of Monday morning, November 4.
Staff said they heard groans and banging in the room but thought nothing of it - until Paul's legs came crashing through the ceiling of an adjacent internet cafe packed with gamers. Shocked locals called police as the naked holidaymaker cried for help with his legs dangling through the floorboards.
The balcony from which he fell was directly above the roof of the cafe.
However the drama wasn't over there. Officers were horrified when they checked the Brit's room at The Freelancer Hotel in Pattya, Thailand, and found excrement smeared across the floor.
Also from that report, this is what the police spokesperson was quoted as saying:
We have some ideas about what he was doing in the room to make it so dirty but there was nothing illegal.
It is his private life, so he will have to speak with the hotel to negotiate the bill.
