Foreigner Goes Crazy... But Speaks Great Thai
This foreigner sparked concern when he was behaving erratically in front of cars in Bangkok. Cops arrived and after a few words, they let him go.
Clearly he was worse for wear, but in his defence, he spoke great Thai and even knew how to wear one of their loin cloths properly.

What an incredibly kind and understanding police force! They recognized his distressing state of mind and handled the situation with sensitivity, refraining from adding pressure or causing problems. Much respect for the Thai Police.

deport him back to where he belongs. Why police don't check his passport? His feet has an infection.. I think he came to Thailand to find a Thai girlfriend (like most single white men in Thailand) and the girlfriend took all his money and he got crazy and homeless.

I know this guy. He used to be a Bikram yoga teacher in Bangkok and I knew him through that world. Even had him over to my house a few times. He was clever but a bit nutty and had an amazing yoga practice. He also developed absurdly good Thai and was more of a royalist than the most patriotic Thai you could find. Wish him luck, I am surprised to see him show up in this context.

We sat for a couple of hours and chatted about serpent worshippers, the significance of whores wearing black and white stripes, and the high ranking that the multiple amulets he wore afforded him in Thai society. Very aggressive towards any ho that came near to him. It was an awkward uncomfortable conversation but he seemed to take to me. A very interesting guy but bat sh1t crazy.

Plus even a pretty intoxicated or drugged person, if they're about to hit someone, instinct will take over and they'll swerve.

Not everyone is enamoured when foreigners try to emulate so blatantly their culture. I've been living in SE Asia for 20 years and have seen, on numerous occasions, foreigners, trying to curry favor by appropriating local culture in an exaggerated way then being mocked by locals after the foreigner leaves. It's not unlike the trashing Trudeau got after wearing local Indian clothing when he visited India. There's a fine line between assimilation and overt appropriation of local culture by a foreigner. In the case of this video, I have zero doubt that the locals will be getting a laugh out of this farang's undignified behavior.

Probably true, but Thai cops don't have to deal with delinquents who deliberately cause trouble and challenge the cops just because they can like they do in the west.
I’ve seen all of these versions of farang before but rarely all in one person at the same time. His Thai is quite good at times but a bit odd and off in others. He’s having a scary psychosis induced by extensive use of dirty local meth amphetamines and extreme lack of sleep. The tics are also a result of this. Seen a few farangs go this way but not all pull out of the nosedive in time. He got lucky this time but these episodes and behaviour usually lead to a social situation which gets ugly and earns a short stint in Thai prison followed by somebody back in the west desperate enough to come and get him on a plane home. Embassies are not always bothered to help. Saw this same story play out all the way to that sad and extreme end twice before.

After seeing various police interactions in a number of Asian countries, it really highlights the problem we have with police culture in America. As illustrated here in Thailand, as in Japan, and even China, it’s evident the primary objective of patrol officers is to maintain public peace and safety, and societal harmony. Violence and arrest is an absolute last resort that’s avoided at all costs. Whereas in America, the police forces in all our major cities use every encounter they have with the public as an excuse to find any reason to arrest the subject. It’s quite ironic we go around criticizing other countries for their alleged abuse of human rights, while we have more citizens incarcerated than any other country in the world, by any measure…. population, percentage, felonies, misdemeanours, youth, adults, violent crimes, financial crimes, victimless crimes, you name it and we’re on top. Something is wrong in the land of the free.

FYI.He was reciting the full name of Krung - Thep (Thai capital city know as Bangkok) original name that most foreigners don't know which shorten from Krung Thep mahanakorn Amorn rattanakosin Mahindraya Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phopnopparath Ratchatha ni Burirom Udomrachanivej Mahasataan Amornviman Amatansatit Popnopbarat Wishanu Kammasit.
Drugs are bad, but yes, great Thai speaking skills. As a foreigner living in Thailand, this makes me embarrassed. Thank you police for being so patient.

Very skillful in spoken Thai. He is even aware that the words LAU and SURA have the same meaning(alcohol), but has different levels of formality and usage. Just wondering what the hell is happening to him? Injury from head to feet.

Most likely had a few motorbike accidents and the feet injuries would be from being high on drugs and walking around on bare feet for too long, perhaps days on end, with no sleep to recover.
People in here are applauding the police for letting a guy whos clearly having a manic, drug induced episode and is extremely unstable to just go OFF ON A MOPED IN TO BUSY TRAFFIC. Are you people out of your minds? This is the problem with all you leftie do-gooders, you never think it through. Never the consequences, its just to make yourselves feel good. This man is endangering everyone on the road.
The police know he has no money to take of him, so let him go

yeah probably.... the first thing you do if you see a thai person badly hurt in thailand just keep walking if your a foreigner let them die... If you help everyone asks you for money and blames it on you... if someone tries to kill you and you fight back and your a foriegner they still charge you and let the thai go

Wow. I have been to Thailand over 20 times and this just proves that the Thai people are very patient, especially if you speak Thai and are respectful. There are mentally ill foreigners all over the place. They didn’t do anything to help the problem except watch him drive away to another intersection. They actually thanked him.
Hats off to Thai police. They handled the situation very professionally in a calm manner. He presented his passport; no crime was committed, and he was told to go home. Anyone want to guess what would have happened to him is he was confronted by cops in the US ?

Wow. You can do wtf you like in Thailand if youve mastered the language conversationally. They loved him even though he was yabad up they let him go.... Crazy
They let him ride his bike away in that state 😂
A lot of foreigners who come to Thailand usually try to reinvent themselves as top CEO's, war hero's. SAS, black ops, CIA etc in order to try impress others and generally big themselves up. This case is very interesting as this guy has literally reinvented himself as one of the Thai rural poor. Not even Thai's themselves aspire to be like that. Let's hope he got himself straightened out.
He's single handedly changing the stereotyped view of Canadians.
people wouldn't give this guy a second look a lot of places in the US, but because this is Thailand people find it unbelievable that somebody can act this way. A one man piece of Skid Row in Thailand 😁😁
