Having lived in several Pattaya apartments in my 23 year stay, I must admit the Balcony railings are way too low,.... I'm 6 feet tall and every railing where I've lived has been below waist high, easy enough after a few beers, or not, to be top heavy, and fall over..... a low railing means less stainless steal, and reduced costs when building these condo blocks, is my guess, its not about safety..that's for sure
