A Thai landlord was shocked after a British tenant allegedly trashed her newly renovated rental home in Pattaya.

Chudanat Penampipinyo, 52, had painstakingly redecorated with her property before letting it to Alexander William Barker, 30, from Coventry, and his Thai wife in December 2024.

They signed a one-year contract but it was prematurely terminated after the Brit reportedly refused to pay the rent and utility bills for three months, resulting in service disconnections.

The furious landlord claimed Alexander had ignored her warnings to settle his financial obligations. She arrived with a police squad to kick him out on March 30, but he reportedly refused to let them in.

Chudanat said: 'On the day we were supposed to inspect the property and reclaim the house, he stubbornly refused to leave, promising to vacate by April 30th. He wouldn't allow us entry even when we arrived with police officers.

'The police didn't force entry but attempted to negotiate payment of outstanding bills, which we thought he would settle. In the end, he simply fled.'

Footage shows the defiant renter yelling at Chudanat and the cops when they tried to boot him from the place.

When the couple vacated, she entered the residence - only to find it had been left resembling a rubbish dump.

Stomach-turning photos video shows the once-clean furniture upholstery now torn and smeared with a mud-like substance.

Food containers were left festering inside the microwave, while plates stained with food scraps littered the yard.

Piles of laundry were found soaked in larvae-infested water in the broken washing machine. The doorknobs, closets, appliances, decorations, and sections of wall were also reportedly bashed with a hammer.

Horrified Chudanat said the smell of cannabis pervaded the property, and the air conditioners and lights had been left running.

When she tried to check security footage to gather evidence, she found that the cameras had been covered with stickers to block surveillance.

She stormed over to the Nongprue Police Station to file a formal complaint against the delinquent tenants.

Officers visited the pigsty and collected cannabis, a grinder, antibiotic pills, an airsoft gun, a car plate, and a pack of white powder believed to be narcotics.

The disheartened landlord urged police to locate the couple and bring them to justice. She said: 'I want to warn other homeowners that before renting out properties, they should thoroughly check tenants' backgrounds, especially in the case of foreigners, to prevent such incidents from recurring.'

Former fishing village Pattaya became popular with American troops on 'rest and relaxation' breaks in the 1950s and 1960s when the U.S. military had bases in Thailand while fighting Communism in Vietnam. Rural families are said to have even dressed their sons as women to cash in on the gold rush.

The handful of bars in the coastal town quickly grew and it is now the world's biggest sex holiday destination, with round-the-clock prostitution and drugs - a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah rife with crime and debauchery.

Government chiefs have attempted to clean up the city but regular violence, depravity and claims of corruption continue to blight its reputation.
