FreddieRoyle Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 He looks in very good shape for a guy that just fell from the 5th floor. His bones at least look normal. Fingers crossed he pulls through and gets to tell the tale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Get Real Posted April 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2018 It can also be like the police already checked the scene in the room he fell from, and that the hotell management reported that he walked in alone. looks like that is something most of the comments here disregard totally, in their fame and glory to state something that they have no grounding facts for. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Miracle he survived a fall from the 5th floor. Mortality after a fall from the 4th floor is about 50%, which rises to about 90% from the 7th floor. Only from around the 10th floor does mortality become fairly certain, though even then it depends how you fall and what you fall onto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickymouse1 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 "It is not known if the man fell as the result of an accident or if he jumpe" I very much doubt it that he "Jumped " however, why not used the word "Pushed" which again I doubt that he was as I think he was Drunk etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Lucky he did not fall on the high voltage lines that go along the front quite close. And the nice artwork balcony railings are at least not too high Edited April 12, 2018 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an accident, he looks tall. No relevant green/bushes in Soi Honey. I must have walked by there a hundred times. Must be something else. Tall, yes indeed. Some will never believe but it could be a simple mishap/stumble. Big guy, some booze, a step (down) from the room to the balcony, low rail.

We don't actually care what the cops say. We already know. We'll see how this thread goes. Fortunately the man has survived thus far. But normally any balcony dive creates a major stir throughout the vast CSI: TVF network. It spreads like a virulent STD from the local Pattaya dicks to the vast population of off-brand wannabes free to post worldwide from their bars, rented rooms, council estates, trailer parks, 7/11 curbstones, school lunchrooms, internet cafes, park benches, retirement homes, etc. You have no idea who or where they are, esp. given all the illiteracy (from the supposed native English speakers; maybe the cat walked on the keyboard? Friend o' mine's cat does that sometimes). Roboposting A balcony dive thread attracts lots of roboposting from the CSI: TVF robosleuths and wannabes. It seems keyboard shortcuts are assigned to the same ol' timeworn declarations of police incompetence and corruption, accusations of bribe-taking, and doubts about the evidence at the scene. And a perp is always selected from the four on the list: the Thai wife, the gf, the ho', or the ladyboy. It almost appears as though some roboposters get up earlier in the morning to be first off the line with their robopost. But how better to start the day than by assuring oneself of one's superiority to Thais? Of course roboposting often occurs in many other wank-topics as well, but those are beyond the scope of the present discussion. Finally, given the powerful convergence of balcony dive and Thai police, a particularly virulent group will need to invade your dive's forum thread: the paranoids afflicted with Tic-Related Police Conspiracy OCD (TRPCOCD). Maybe even a few doomsayers to utter their prophecies of a farang Exodus and THE END. Oh, yes. So we hear that the forged note, the Bogart last cigarette butt, and the chewing gum on the balcony railing were all police plants. The true perp will never be caught or if caught will never do time! A Burmese is gonna be framed. Avoid it, no matter how disappointed you are that the Tunnel didn't flood and plenty of tourists are walking on the Promenade. The style and dignity of your dive, with its cool nod to The Last Tango In Paris, will cheapened with red herrings thrown all over it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Regardless of the cause for the injury, I hope the man has adequate health insurance for a complete and speedy recovery. It brings to mind with all the balcony and swimming pool related accidents we hear about in Bangkok that maybe a limited on-premise group health insurance could be offered through a hotel association such as the “Hotel Association for Tourist of Thailand.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Weird Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 6 hours ago, colinneil said: It is not known if he fell or jumped. Or if he was pushed !!! Thaivisa has very conveniently chosen to use this report which omits the fact that he only checked into the hotel shortly before he fell. There was no mention of his being accompanied so there is not much reason to suggest that he was pushed. If you bothered to read anything else, such as the Bangkok Post which reported the incident yesterday, you'd know that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to be able to agree with every word that you say for once! Some of the ones you refer to have to be forgiven because of the damage done to them by the good slaps that they claim to have been given when they were children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, as I look out my 5th floor balcony, I would 100% be brown bread if I fell as it’s so high. Maybe it depends on the size of the floors too.
