A German and Australian tourist were rescued from a bar in Thailand by a police sergeant major after they were found unconscious from drinking. The tourists were wheeled back to their hostel in a trolley for safety, a move following recent warnings after poisonings in neighboring Laos.
Tourists left unconscious from a night of heavy drinking had to be wheeled back to their hotels in trolleys by police in Thailand despite recent warnings following the deadly poisonings that claimed six lives in neighbouring Laos .
Their friends later helped to carry them to their rooms and hauled them onto their bunk beds, with the kind officer placing a blanket over one of them. 'They were both too drunk to speak and too drunk to stand up. In that condition, they could have an accident, such as falling into the sea or falling down steps.
'This was not the first time police have assisted drunk tourists. They have been doing this for over two years. The Ministry of Public Health previously suggested that nightspots wanting to extend their operating hours should implement breathalyzer tests for patrons before they leave and arrange transport services, if necessary, as part of efforts to enhance tourist safety.But concern mounts about the safety of foreign visitors after the reported deaths of six backpackers from drinks tainted with methanol alcohol in Laos last month.
