So many?   Such as which others that constitute that "so many"?

[spidermike007]

Amazing Thailand. The world center of suicide by jumping. 

 

I think not. Some no doubt. All? Surely not. 

[vivananahuahin]

it is a disease in Thailand, need be followed like Covid.

[Aussieroaming]

RIP. Another security guard pumped up and protecting the premises, reacting in his usual way to strange, loud noises by re-entering the REM state.

For a start, from earlier today: A Kyrgyzstani woman fell to death at a hotel in the Pattaya area after noon today (September 16th). 

Perhaps you didn't read of that, nor the other reports that often appear on this site. Now you'll tell me to define 'often' ????

Theonly way foreingens accedintaly lose their Lives in Thailand what an unlucky guy..!! just WOW

[Dont confuse me]

Yet another failed bungee jump.

Of all the ways to go taking a 'header' wouldn't be at the top of my list! Particularly with what's available over the counter at any pharmacy!

If foreigners have no access to firearms, jumping is the always available alternative...

hmmm .... very strange indeed.  He rented a storage unit, and was seen smoking by the window.  I suspect the storage unit didn't have balconies so he went out to the area where the balcony was and it looks to be in the middle of the building.   So was he seen smoking on the balcony near the window or was he smoking in his storage unit at the window?  maybe he opened the window and stood near while smoking.  Was someone with him? did the follow him out to the balcony? was foul play involved here?

 

RIP sir.

very sad indeed.

That's one other incident, one, not "so many" as he wrote.

I know, you know and everyone who reads this site regularly knows that there are many reports of foreigners and Thais 'falling' from roofs and balconies. That is why the term 'Pattaya Flying Club' is used. If you don't believe that is true, up to you. Why should I care what you think?

[geisha]

Are Thai balconies lower than western ones ??  Taking into account westerners are generally taller than Asians.  Very strange. One does not hear much news of people falling from balconies accidentally. It’s either kids climbing on furniture  ( beds etc in bedrooms) or criminal.

Falling........????

[Thingamabob]

There have been regular reports of accidental, and/or suicidal, jumping deaths by foreigners in Thailand for long as I can remember. Whether these are more or less than anywhere else it's hard to say, although Peking and Moscow also seem to provide strong competition.

[dallen52]

Wot?

Another one.

Falls, jumps, pushed.

Ground floor for me thanks.

An off topic post regarding suicide statistic in the US has been removed.

So he had rented a storage unit.  One has to wonder what is in said storage unit.  One hopes there is not a body stuffed in a trunk that may have been there for awhile, or maybe just placed inside.  Did the guilt override him, or did he move everything he owned in life into the storage unit due to some type of problem, and then decided to bail on this world.  Or simply, could he have been smoking while standing next to the rail, became light headed and passed out, thus falling over the railing.  So many possibilities.  However may he RIP and condolences to his family and friends once identified further after ensuring they have the right identification.

I think if you look just at the Pattaya area with maybe 1 million people in the area it seems that jumpers or people accidentally falling and I think some for sure pushed off the rate seems very high. Bangkok with 8-10 million seem much less  even. Moscow and Peking I really don't know about but they are very large populated areas. We also don't even hear about all of these jumps mostly the ones with Westerners involved. I live in a large city in the USA 1/2 the year and it's extremely rare to read about a jumper. The area I'm in has about 5 million in the metro area. When some posters argue this ( not you) I think they just want to be difficult or different,  certainly not correct.
