Foreign man dies after falling from Pattaya condo

Featured Replies

It was MOST PROBABLY an accident.

 

Gosh. In the 1990's, the apartment in Bangkok that I stayed in for several years had a balcony (it was on the eighth floor) and there was no railing ! The outer wall was quite low (if I remember right, coming to my waist level; well maybe just a bit higher). Once, barefoot, I slipped at the balcony and nearly fell down. It was a close call. And, thinking about the number of times I came home at night drunk in those years, I guess I was very lucky (the situation was particularly risky there because the balcony was between the room and the bathroom. The design was like that for all the rooms there).

    Sounds like an accident, as he could easily have gone anywhere high up and jumped if he was indeed suicidal, rather than looking to rent somewhere. Will be interesting to know the persons height, and

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

    This is going to be hard for the locals to pin on suicide if he was looking for a rental

How come the foreigner came to rent a room with no identity with him this is not logic I think something behind this

he bent over to examine the view,

i can get dizzy myself on overwhelming views.

i recall when i was young and taken to a 3D movie,

showing red canyon from a suicidal pilot,

i got a strange reflex to just leap forward,

which would undoubtedly have killed me or immobilized me for good. i used all my strength to keep me back in the seat

and resist the weird impulse
