An expat resident of Bangkok, who was reported missing 9 days ago, has been found at a psychiatric ward in the capital. The 27 year old Portuguese national, Alexandre Freitas, was located at Somdet Chao Phraya Hospital, in the Khlong San district, after he was accused of stealing a pair of sunglasses from a shopping centre in the city.
According to a Coconuts report, the man’s friend, named as Stuart Holden, says Freitas did not intend to shoplift the sunglasses, but took them because he is mentally unwell.
“He walked into Emporium and, because of his sick state, tried to take sunglasses worth 30,000 baht. However, upon reaching the holding cell, he went insane, took his clothes off, and was transported to a psych ward to be evaluated.”
It appears Holden was unaware his friend has been transferred to a psychiatric ward and he went on social media to offer a 30,000 baht reward…
