Phuket International Airport's medical unit had to use mechanical equipment to assist in removing an incapacitated Christopher Boubis, 39, from his Australian Airlines' flight that had landed at the airport around 10pm.

The medical unit then transported the tourist to Thalang hospital, where he woke up and in a drunked state proceded to stumble around, playfully interacting with nursing staff, before passing out again on the floor.

It was finally decided to transport the tourist to the police station, where he will be questioned further upon waking up.
