Brit tourist covered in poo falls through ceiling in Thailand red light district

Naked British tourist 'covered in excrement' rescued from balcony

An incredibly unfortunate British tourist had to be rescued after falling through a ceiling whilst covered in poo in a red light district in Thailand. Paul Hadfield, 51, from Blackburn, Lancashire, was allegedly 'extremely drunk' when he returned to his room in the early hours of Monday morning, November 4.

Staff said they heard groans and banging in the room but thought nothing of it - until Paul's legs came crashing through the ceiling of an adjacent internet cafe packed with gamers. Shocked locals called police as the naked holidaymaker cried for help with his legs dangling through the floorboards.

The balcony from which he fell was directly above the roof of the cafe.

However the drama wasn't over there. Officers were horrified when they checked the Brit's room at The Freelancer Hotel in Pattya, Thailand, and found excrement smeared across the floor.

Police reported that there were 'suspicions' about what Paul was doing, but they had found 'nothing illegal'.

Police Lieutenant Thanawee Yarangsee of the city's police station, who was working the night shift when the incident happened, said today that Paul had arrived in the country on September 23 before heading to the notorious coastal destination - what has been called a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

Lieutenant Yarangsee said that Paul had 'minor injuries' but will be discharged from hospital 'to have time to rest and become sober'. Adding: "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."

Paramedics said they found Paul in a dazed state while half-lodged in the wooden ceiling boards. Meanwhile, the terrified gamers below said they had to leave the room because the smell was so bad.

Officers rescued Paul and covered him up with a blanket while walking him to an ambulance to go to the hospital for first aid.

Staff who checked Paul's room said there was a stomach-turning stench upon opening the door. They said they found human excrement staining the bed sheets, blankets, and the floor.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, staff also said that there were no witnesses who saw the moment Paul fell. However, they have begun to investigate how he managed to fal from the balcony to the roof below in such a state.

Startled cafe customer, Somrak Senso, 28, said: "At that time, the shop was full of people, more than 20 people. I was sitting playing games downstairs.

"After a while, I heard the first thump. I didn't think much of it. After a while, there was another thump."

He continued: "The ceiling started to break more. There were legs coming down, right on my head. So I called the staff to come and look.

"He was alone. No one was there. No girls, no boys. I don't know if my relatives or friends contacted him later. Because after the police took him away, I continued playing games."
