Staying in a condo in Pattaya that is higher than 2nd floor and has a balcony is more dangerous than roads in Thailand

Behave...

Amazing how so many owners have been living on high floors for decades.

Probably this guy is too young to understand that farangs and Thai balconies just don’t mix. It’s a fatal combination!

Though not in his case!

Why oh why the continued cynicism over the police here. Its in their interests to find out what happens with these falls.

The reality is and in 99% of cases these people are pissed as rats (or sleep walking) when they go over these balconies. They are nowhere near the height we expect back home

I agree many falls are as a result of alcohol & poor balcony design.  I disagree with 'Its in their interests to find out what happens with these falls.'  A suicide is easily written up with a minimum of effort.  A suspect fall will entail investigative work - something Pattaya police shun like the devil unless they smell money.

I witnessed two uniformed police in my favourite bar arrive on a motor bike, pick up an envelope and drive away.  Mama san confirmed it was a regular monthly payment.  This was two weeks ago.  I belong to two quiz teams so visit six bars in the course of a season; the owners of all six confirmed they pay monthly 'to avoid trouble'.
