There are likely as many condo buildings with balconies in Bangkok as there are in Pattaya, if not more, so why is it that we are always hearing about balcony falls and deaths in Pattaya? What is up with that? Anybody have any ideas?

You don't often hear of people '' falling ' from high rise buiding balconies it is usually pushed or suicde. In this case it would appear that this has something to do with the 500,000 quid dispute with his Thai wife.She would have had a key to the apartment and arranged her brother to do the job.

why don't you READ up on this story instead of writing moronic comments!

"Police said they were called to the death at 10.30pm on February 9 and investigation found the apartment door was locked from the inside and CCTV checks showed Griffiths was the only person who entered the room before his death. Officers found two opened bottles of wine and a bottle of water inside the condo. A police source said: “The only person who went into the room was Quentin, so we do not believe there was anything suspicious.”

What a terrible way to die. RIP

Means ~ Motive ~ Opportunity: [this is a comment I submitted after an eyerollingly-similar event a couple of months ago] "“Excuse me. You neglected to add ‘quotation marks’ to ‘jumps’. The telenovela plays out thusly: drunken tourist picks up good-looking woman in bar. Intoxicated foreign idiot takes her back to his hotel room, on the 9th Floor of his hotel. Going to be a hot time in the old town tonight. They get smoochy-smoochy. Knock on the door. Woman says ‘Excuse me - Room Service’ and opens door. Man enters briskly carrying tray and heads for balcony. ‘Hot stuff’. Stupid expat trails along behind to balcony, puzzled. ‘Waiter’ and woman each grab one leg and give expat the heave-ho over the balcony railing. Man rapidly loses hard-on as he heads, head-first, for the planet earth. So long, sucker.”

Does that explain the door locked from inside?

Perhaps the two then had an argy bargy over the

payout and they also ended up over

the balconey ,,???

Maybe she was hiding behind a curtain!

The elevator ride is the most common source of foul play in Thailand. The rate at which people fall off a balcony in Pattaya and Bangkok is too high to be normal.

I think many high rise hotels have the windows sealed in BK I know the Indra does
