An unidentified foreign man has died after falling from the 11th floor of a condominium in Pattaya. 

 

Rescue workers were called to View Talay 6 Condo just after 6pm on Wednesday after staff reported that a man had died.

 

Staff said the man, who is believed to be aged between 30 and 40, arrived at the condo inquiring about renting a room. 

 

While looking at a room on the 11th floor he fell to his death. 

 

Police are continuing to investigate the incident and are checking CCTV to establish if the man died due to an accident or suicide. 

 

The man’s body was taken to Banglamung Hospital.

 

There have been at least two other similar deaths in Pattaya over the last two months.

 

In May, a British man leapt to his death at the Central Festival Pattaya shopping mall.

 

Last month, also at the Central Festival Pattaya shopping mall, a 57 year old Italian man jumped to his death.


Also in June, a twenty three year old Thai woman died after falling from the 30th floor of a condominium in Naklua.

That’s sad. I’ve been to most of the View Talay condos but not View Talay 6. The ones I’ve been to had “normal” height handrails by US standards.

Probably just another one that couldn´t see the height of the railing. Can´t just use the excuse that they are to low all the time. People must start to open their eyes. It´s easy, it´s just to look.

However, RIP to the man and condolences to his family and friends.

Definitely another argument, about rent this time, that occured on the balcony. ????

I am sure the person who was showing him the condo can shed some light on it ,

That person is more than likely a gibbering mess at the minute, still in shock if they witnessed this. Regardless if it was suicide or a tragic accident, not a pretty thing to witness.

Man is there any other city on the world that has so many balcony falls/jumps/pushings?.....About 4-5 years ago it was really bad a new fall about every week...Then the jumping slacked off for a few years and now the jumping is getting popular again...

I know it seems like that but its because we tend to hear about them in Thailand. Back home they are not reported.

The suicide rate for somewhere like Australia is 10 people for every 100,000 people per year.

Population of pattaya is 300-400k, thats a death every couple of weeks if the same rate as Australia

And here we are yet AGAIN, another fall by a foreigner or (sometimes a Thai girl) off a balcony.  Recently it was Central mall in Pattaya, before that Pattaya, and Pattaya again, and so on...it's ridiculous.

Don't go to View Talay 6, or your posts here might cease suddenly...

As a property inspector for buyers for 14  years in Thailand I have never seen an outside railing under 3 feet or about one meter tall. Now I have seen the wrong type of glass used for such railings many times.

Gosh, is this some new sinister plot against farangs?  Has anything like this happened before?
