Onset of Drugs
Once they grew tired from the jet lag and drinking during the first week, they searched for cocaine to keep the excitement going. So they asked their taxi driver if they could get some, although the powder in the long, thin vial he gave them was something a lot more powerful.
Harry took the first taste of the powder and they immediately realized it was a strong, China white heroine. He said he only needed to smoke a pin prick to feel like a zombie. So Billy – one who had no self-control – helped himself. Only when shooting the heroine, they used the foil from the chocolate bar wrappers from the hotel’s mini bar since tinfoil wasn’t available in Thailand.
Eventually, the hotel staff became embarrassed by the constant flow of hookers in and out of the lobby. But the pair didn’t care, and even filmed a video of themselves acting out and “zombie-like” in the suite.
They were then asked to move to another room to make room for the president of Cambodia, who would take up the entire top floor. But they refused, ignoring the fact they were wearing out their welcome at the hotel.
