Walking up to the supermarket in the dark (~19:00?) we spotted a person lying right in the middle of the pavement, completely still. We didn't see any blood but it didn't look too good and so we had to get help. Sometimes it's a bummer not being able to converse in Thai, so we headed to the Plod shop directly opposite where the person was lying and soon found a young policeman who could understand us.
He and a colleague followed us to the body and after quite a while, managed to get them to move, which they did suddenly and clasping their head. I suspect it was down to alcohol but we couldn't just leave them there; what if they needed medical attention?
I just hope he didn't end up in the cells for the night. Stays are not usually free of charge and some "tea money" is the usual etiquette.
