Rock ‘n’ roll on Sukhumvit: Chinese tourist’s bizarre antics shock Pattaya

A Chinese national attracted attention when he exhibited erratic behaviour on Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya, resorting to self-harm by smashing his head with a rock, last Saturday, January 20.

The shocking scene unfolded in broad daylight, triggering immediate concern from alarmed onlookers.

Quick-thinking passers-by wasted no time and alerted the authorities, sparking a rapid response from the police and rescue units. Their coordinated efforts aimed to provide urgent assistance and prevent the man from causing further harm to himself.

Upon arrival, emergency rescue personnel administered preliminary first aid to 42 year old Chen Wei, who was discovered with head injuries and bleeding. Following the initial treatment, he was swiftly transported to Pattaya Memorial Hospital for further medical attention.

Preliminary investigations unveiled that Chen had been socialising with a group of Chinese friends before the distressing incident. It is reported that substances consumed during their gathering may have contributed to his altered state. Initial medical assessments highlighted signs of disorientation, yet Chen remained coherent enough to express his urgent need for medical attention, reported Pattaya Mail.

Authorities are actively overseeing Chen’s hospitalisation and coordinating necessary follow-up procedures to safeguard his well-being.
