Police and rescue workers examined him and found no signs of assault, determining that his extreme alcohol consumption had likely caused him to pass out.

His equally intoxicated girlfriend pleaded with officers to take him to the hospital, fearing he might die. However, officers reassured her that he was simply drunk and not in any life-threatening condition.

Siwapol, a 45 year old Bolt driver, revealed that he had picked up the couple from Soi 6 on Beach Road.

The man had completely passed out inside the car, leaving the driver unsure of what to do. In an attempt to seek help, he drove them to Pattaya Police Station.

Upon arrival, the woman exited the car first, but as soon as the man followed, he collapsed face-first onto the ground. The driver immediately alerted the police, who assisted in getting the man safely home once he regained consciousness, reported The Pattaya News.

With Pattaya’s nightlife in full swing, incidents like these serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of excessive drinking—but for this tourist, it was just another wild night in Thailand’s party capital.

In similar news, a ride-hailing driver in Pattaya was left bruised and shaken after a group of drunken tourists attacked him for refusing to engage in conversation.

The incident occurred around 3am on January 29 in Soi Buakhao, South Pattaya, when 29 year old Suradet Khawlamai picked up five passengers from the Marina Pattaya South area.

The group consisted of two foreign men, one Thai man, and two Thai women, with the foreigners appearing highly intoxicated.

Suradet, a Bolt driver, remained silent as the passengers conversed among themselves. However, tensions escalated when the foreigners demanded he talk to them.
