A British man found himself in hot water after becoming stuck up to his chest in human poo, it has been revealed.

The unfortunate accident occurred when the unidentified man, 46, fell down an uncovered manhole.

The incident happened in the north of the Thai capital after he left a restaurant with two friends at 11.30pm on September 1st.

He was later treated for cuts and bruises. His friends had raised the alarm after seeing him fall into the ten foot hole.

The manhole was reportedly left open by Bangkok city workers conducting road repairs.

A spokesman for the Thai rescue service said: “He was up to his chest in liquid waste but it at least gave him a soft landing that meant his injuries were not too severe.”

The man said he plans to claim compensation from the local council as there were no warning signs around the manhole.

A similar incident occurred in July last year, when a Thai man fell into an uncovered manhole in Bangkok’s Din Daeng district at night and drowned in the sewage below.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801800076-ADNFCR
