Very lucky. Well enough height to kill a person. Hope she will recover quickly.

Look at how low the balustrade is. Thais tend to be on the short arsed size and it only comes up to the coppers thighs – on a foreigner that would barely be over his knee caps.

No wonder there are so many condo ‘accidents’

survived = accident.

dead = suicide.

She was Mao mao… No suicide. Happy Birthday, Miss Butpan. 

[mikebell]

Pattaya Plod deem Thai deaths from balconies are accidents but farang deaths are suicide.

[Aussieroaming]

A lucky escape, all the best to her

[The Theory]

Perhaps she will quit smoking. 

[Mac Mickmanus]

Just goes to show how dangerous smoking can be

Lucky gal.

 

Needs to give up smoking, very dangerous.

The guy who played the trick on her... moving the lighter further away each time she tried to light up, is still running down Threppasit.

Whole new meaning to "falling" for someone.

Especially for Pattaya, why don't they raise the level of the railing ? Put it in the code.

 

Las vegas doesn't even have balconies for this reason.
