Bro honestly got very fortunate. 6 bevs in 2 hours would likely get you over the legal limit in most countries

หวังว่าจะเข็ดนะ มาถึงไทยแค่4-5ชั่วโมงก็ทำผิดกฎหมายแล้ว

ENHope this teaches him a lesson. He'd only been in Thailand for 4-5 hours and already broke the law.

Still no accountability, I wasn't even drunk bro, yea 4 shots and 2 cocktails but laughing the whole interview about it like its a cool story or something. Ya live and ya learn, hopefully

Such a worst moment of life 💀🥲😭

@Ned88Man

wow, amazing how he was held accountable for drinking and driving. That doesn't seem to happen. Also, he says he doesn't 'do drugs' but I think that doing four shots and 2 cocktails in a few hours is pretty much analogous to 'taking drugs'

Randomly arrested by immigration, doesn't give a reason? Obvious BS.

This guy is a goof… talking about breaking the law by impaired driving like it’s cool and funny. What a clown!

Why would immigration police re-arrest you if you were only in Thailand for such a short while...?

The interviewer is an idiot glorifying drunk behaviour

Same thing happened to me. Spent 2 days in Thai jail. The only criminals in the place were the policemen who were corrupt and unprofessional. The squalor was atrocious. The other prisoners kind.

Who goes to Thailand for Russians ?

@dreammix9430

Meets a random Russian girl and goes for drinks with her. That was his first mistake and I would think he should have known better. And driving drunk in Thailand for a foreigner is definitely a bad thing to do. I've heard stories that are worse than this guy's experience

@ParraPrimarchs

Rookie error. the Circle at Chalong, the route from rawai to Patong has 2 known police checkpoints. Bottom line is if youre going out to drink dont drive unless a thai is driving lol

we could do without the f word. And those tattoos attract drug dealers, pimps and criminals and have also recently been linked to cancer, so not worry people, theyre very polluting as well and chances are anybody in their rights minds will look at you as a loser. Seriously.
