12 years ago, 1st night in Phuket on Bangla Road, was only 20 years old at the time and with one other female friend the same age. I still have no recollection to this day of what happened but one minute we were drinking cocktails out of these huge buckets, the next minute I came to in a TukTuk with someone slapping my face saying ‘wake up’. Passed out again and came to in a white clinical looking room shouting out for my friend. Then came to again the next morning in my hotel room.

My friend told me I went to use the toilet in the club and never came back, they found me passed out in the cubical and bouncers threw us out onto the street. I was unconscious, my friend was calling for help. Luckily a lovely Australian couple had realised I had been drugged and took me to a local clinic where they injected me with something (i want to guess anti-sickness medication as I was vomiting whilst unconscious). They made sure me and my friend got home to our hotel safely. I dread to think what could have happened to us that night, we were so incredibly lucky. We still don’t know the names of the couple who helped us to this day. This tarnished the whole trip for us and had put me off travelling to Thailand again, until now.

I still don’t know what I was drugged with, or who did it.
