I want to do a bungee jump but never in Thailand, and no extreme sports when it's people here you are relying on, too irresponsible and careless.

Known as the sin capital of the world ????

I am lost for words ????

Pesky foreigners making to look Thailand bad,yes that is one way of looking at it.

What is the problem?Nobody died yet and we have a "safety first" sticker

somewhere.

I just wonder if there are any government set guidelines and not just a few cowboys just winging it.

"Too old equipment should be replaced",yes but what is too old?

 

 

Heard today, Thailand has no regulations regarding Bungee Jumping!!

2.500 baht for this !!:unsure:

Go to Iran tell all you're gay get this experience for free.

I bet if he could talk saddam would have chosen thailand when he tried bungee jumping

Having read 3 different articles in maybe 2-3 days about this, what stuck in my mind was the length of the cord snapping, it went from halfway to 5m above and now to 2-3m...

Can't wait for the next report: 30cm...

RTP do it on a daily basis.  Soi dogs; unchecked pollution; scamming taxi drivers; it's a wonder any tourists come here.

Must be the lure of the temples and a Phad Thai supper.

"It was decided that the cord had broken perhaps due to wear that could not be ascertained with the naked eye. "... I wonder if they also apply this philosophy to the aviation sector.. ???.... be good to know...

When it breaks or snaps.

The bungee cord should be tested every day, by letting the owners of the attraction jump first.

You should just watch the vid and decide. Pretty easy.

You want me to do backflips? Or an armstand dive?

Of course.

 

You seem to be stupid enough to try jumping without the bungee cord

You can do a search of the internet and find many rules and regulations on inspection of the bungee cords.

 

However, I could not find one for Thailand.

Snitch tried to rort 200,000 from them after falling 3 meteres into water.

Which resulted in zero damage to him. 

Blackban him. 

Everyone expects to be compensated for every little thing these days. 

Harden up.

Wasnt even that high. I would jump off that platform without a girly rope.

A bungee rope breaking is not a 'little thing'. And if the company had compensated more than just medical expenses and a refund of the fee, they would have avoided the exposure. You might jump off the platform without a 'girly rope', but I and many others sure as hell wouldn't.
