The man was said to be ‘extremely drunk’ when he returned to his room in Pattaya’s red light district in the early hours of this morning.

Groans and banging was later heard coming from the 51-year-old’s room at The Freelancer Hotel but staff thought nothing of it.

It was only when his legs crashed through the ceiling of an adjacent internet café after he plunged from the balcony that they realised something was amiss.

…

Shocked gamers called police as the naked holidaymaker, believed to be from Blackburn cried for help with his legs dangling from the floorboards.

Subsequent pictures showed him being guided to an ambulance while covered up in a blanket.

…

Officers later checked his room, where they discovered excrement smeared across the floor.

Police lieutenant Thanawee Yarangsee said: ‘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.’
