A British tourist who survived a 7-metre fall onto his head from a hotel balcony in Koh Tao has flown home with a quarter of his skull in his hand luggage.

Doctors removed a quarter of his skull to give his brain space to recover from the fall.
Mr Charie flew home to Britain two weeks later with the missing part of his skull in a box. He was accompanied by a Thai doctor who helped take care of him during the flight.

That would be an interesting declaration at customs. And not a carry on bag you would want to lose.

Still it is one way to get a head of yourself.
 
Good afternoon sir, do you have anything to declare?

Nah mate, just HEADING home after the holidays! :)
