I don't wanna sound like a bad guy but the cops/rescue people certainly did more than I would have done.  I would have just hosted his ass up rather than put anyone else over the side.

Considered he's murdered, I'd go for the more respectful way.

Appear to imply he intended to inflict self-harm (cut himself) prior to hanging...

I'm also Norwegian and I do not agree with you at all. It looks more like a check list over how to take your own life.

 

Starting speculations this might be a murder based on only this note is just not right. 

I have another theory. If you are going to hang yourself in full sight like this, you want attention. Then there HAS to be a letter explaining himself. There is not.

If, as you suggest, it was a murder, a rope and all the other paraphernalia would not have been needed from up there!

It is sad.

There are just too many hangings and other suicides in Thailand. Why?

Because people come Pattaya for champagne life on a water budget when money run out 

life is not funny anymore in this paradise 

First thing that happens is overstay 

Then you sinking deeper in to the black hole of depression 

Sad some people can't handle it and commit suicide 

RIP

I don't think any of it is understandable....  This may be an unsympathetic and somewhat inhumane comment and may well prove unpopular, however, I'll go ahead because young Children will have seen this and will have been mentally impacted by the image a man hanging to his death. 
 
If this man took his own life, then whatever tragedy, stresses, illness etc this poor man suffered none can justify or excuse him imposing this image on the 1000's around him. 
 
I wonder if there is more to the story and a message was being sent - this has 'gangland' or such connotations and may be much more than suicide. 
 
 
 
 
 
I agree.

This is brutal to see. I worked for a company that built houses back in Canada 15 years ago or so. I went to work on April 1st one day and thought I was the first guy on the job site until I found my mate hanging from a floor joist by a wire. I laughed and said, "Haha...April Fool's. That looks awesome Ben!", as I approached him and gave him a little shove.

 

Ben was dead. My mind was blown. I called my boss and told hi and got the "Haha April Fool's" thing again.

 

Yeah...it was a bad day all around.

My Dad died on April the 1st also, it  never has the same meaning for me anymore.
