Pattaya police take care of drunk tourist
It can be dangerous when you’re drunk and passed out in public as this opens doors for thieves to rob all your belongings. But this tourist didn’t have to worry about that because he had the police watching over him – literally.
In the early morning of 23rd August 2019, a tourist was found lying down beside a road in Pattaya. Locals who were in the area quickly alerted the Pattaya Police Provincial Division in fear that the man would be harmed or robbed.

The police proceeded to wake the man up to check if he was injured. To everyone’s relief, he seemed fine aside from being a little bit drowsy and hungover. The police then gave him a cold bottle of water to wash his face.
After letting him freshen up, the police gave the man a ride to his hotel, back to safety.
