Popular Post overherebc Posted December 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2018 Love how the headline gives the impression that someone knew she was there and either waited two hours to call for help or that the ambulance/rescue took it's time, two hours!!!!, to get there. Two words spring to mind. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roo860 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Thailand should start to impose entry restrictions against those inclined to fall from heights. It's bad for the countries image. They should start by installing safety rails at a reasonable height, rather than ones that stop midgets from going over the edge.

Anyone falling off when disembarking can be scooped up and put straight back on the plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If the balconies where built to what they call here "International" heights it would be more difficult to fall off drunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words she was so busy on her phone, that she did not pay attention and tossed herself off the building. But its Thailands fault. Or the buildings. Not hers.

Although I have noticed fire doors being left open by cleaning staff in hotels in Thailand, and on high floors can see the danger. I have closed a few myself as the wind can blow strongly through them. I have see older hotels with very poor fire escape stairs on the outside of buildings.

AhFarangJa Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hoping she recovers ok, as she is lucky to be alive, A Thai lady died in Hua Hin yesterday from a fourth floor fall. However, I am reminded of those people who have fallen down holes, walked into lamp posts etc. because they have their nose buried in the mobile phone. I wonder what her insurance will say, assuming she has some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
