A German tourist fell from a hotel in Pattaya after allegedly using cannabis and becoming paranoid.
At 2:40 AM on August 14th, 2024, Pattaya police received a report of a foreign tourist falling from a luxury hotel, located on Soi 4, Pattaya Second Road, Nongprue sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province. Police, The Pattaya News, and rescue volunteers immediately responded to the scene.
Upon arrival, authorities found the foreign tourist, identified as 21-year-old German national Mr. Manuel Marc Norbert Bukow, lying in pain. Rescue workers provided initial first aid before transporting him to a hospital for urgent medical attention.
According to Mr. Panya Suelek, 36, a hotel security guard who witnessed the incident, he heard loud noises and went to check. He then saw Mr. Bukow sitting on the awning at the back of the hotel and tried to call him. The tourist, who appeared agitated and frightened, got up and ran along the awning, which eventually broke, causing him to fall and get injured. The security guard then called for rescue services.
According to a Pattaya police report, Mr. Bukow had just arrived in Pattaya and checked into the hotel for the first time. After allegedly purchasing and using cannabis, he experienced paranoia and went to sit on the awning. The tourist might have been startled when the security guard approached him, surmised the police, prompting him to flee along the awning, leading to his fall.
Police are waiting for the injured tourist to recover from his injuries before conducting further questioning and addressing the financial damages caused to the hotel.
