Pattaya's Walking Street witnessed an unusual incident early Thursday morning, when a Russian tourist was found unconscious in a restroom. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly lost consciousness while his intoxicated friends obstructed rescue efforts. A white powder was discovered inside his nasal cavity, though its composition remains undetermined.
Pattaya City's Special Affairs officers and Tourist Police were swiftly dispatched to the scene following a 02:30 report from the Pattaya Thammasathan Rescue Radio Centre. Despite the man's friends' initial refusal to allow entry, rescuers eventually managed to bring him out to a better-ventilated area. However, the tourists persisted in hindering rescue workers from taking him to the hospital.
The man's friends claimed he had taken antidepressant medication before losing consciousness, while doctors suggested he could still be awakened. The substance in his nose was suspected to be an illicit drug, possibly ketamine, though it could not be confirmed. The man, still intoxicated, repeatedly insisted he did not want to go to hospital, insisting on returning to his accommodation.
Upon arrival, the tourists took it upon themselves to carry the unconscious man out of the restroom.
