No, if it was the Bangkok police the story would have said that the investigating police climbed into the landing gear and fell asleep.

"police suspect the man climbed up one of the plane’s landing gear and fell asleep"

I guess he found out what it is like to be asleep when the fold up bed folds up.

I once fell out of a plane at 8000 feet. Luckily I had a my backpack on which contained a large sheet attached by ropes to the backpack. As I am writing this I survived.

We all need to get our jollies somehow.

Sad life.

Likely fall occurred when, during landing approach, landing doors opened to lower landing gear and extra

passenger did his dive.

He fell out during take-off

It is not uncommon that people would sneek a ride in order to flee their own country

Yes, it does look rather comfy amongst the hydraulic rams

People have succeeded and survived high altitude before. But he should have tied himself to the wheel.
