The man was said to be ‘extremely drunk’ when he returned to his room in Pattaya’s red light district in the early hours of this morning.

Groans and banging was later heard coming from the 51-year-old’s room at The Freelancer Hotel but staff thought nothing of it.

It was only when his legs crashed through the ceiling of an adjacent internet café after he plunged from the balcony that they realised something was amiss.

...

Shocked gamers called police as the naked holidaymaker, believed to be from Blackburn cried for help with his legs dangling from the floorboards.

Subsequent pictures showed him being guided to an ambulance while covered up in a blanket.

...

Officers later checked his room, where they discovered excrement smeared across the floor.

Police lieutenant Thanawee Yarangsee said: ‘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.’

If you are looking for the digest version of the article.

I always wondered what Blackburners were like.

That's all you need to know of how tourists behave in such locations.

"The Freelancer Hotel" - how can they make it more obvious?

[–] rippermonty 2 points 2 weeks ago

I first read it as "butt staff" .

Every sentence of this article is its own story.

Honestly, we've all been there.

Badly written headline - what was covered in poop? Thailand? The balcony?

This would be clearer: "Naked British tourist, covered in poop, falls from balcony in Thailand"

what was covered in poop?

Sounds like him, the balcony, his room and wherever else his adventures took him.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So it would be arguable that Thailand was also covered in poop

[–] Emperor 5 points 2 weeks ago

A decent chunk of it.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Which now included the ambulance and hospital

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

the correct answer to your question is: yes

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I was thinking the same thing. It's good to know I'm not alone.

His poop or that of one or multiple prostitutes?

That's going to cost him more than €50
