webfact Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 By Kittisak Phalaharn Pattaya—At 3:00 AM, on January 6th, 2023, Pattaya police officers received a report of a Russian person falling from an eighth-story condominium in the Jomtien area, Pattaya. The police and rescue teams were dispatched to the incident scene and found the body of Mr. AP, a 42-year-old Russian man, who had fallen from the 8th floor. The police enclosed the area to prevent non-relevant individuals from interfering in the scene. The victim’s full name was withheld pending contact of his family and embassy. The condo name was withheld due to the ongoing investigation. According to a report by the police, Mr. Uaychai Phuengpisawong, a 52-year-old security officer at the condominium, said that at 1:00 AM the deceased shook the entrance gate of the condo and was acting erratic. After security guards were called by concerned residents, AP climbed the condo wall in an attempt to flee and vanished. Then, Pattaya police officers were called to investigate and later found out that AP was a tenant and not a trespasser, but it was unclear why he was shaking the gates of the condo or climbing condo walls.

Popular Post Ricardo99 Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 (edited) Read between lines...Drunk Russian comes back to his condo, realised he has lost his access card/keys. New security guard doesn't recognise him and refuses entry/assistance. Drunk Russian tries to climb up to their balcony and falls to death. Security guard then makes up s**t to cover their own ass. Same same but different. Edited January 6 by Ricardo99 1 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The High Balcony Jump was such a frequent event in Pattaya at one time, I suggest it should be considered an Olympic event. One had to be wary when walking past hi-rise hotels and condos as there was more than just bird poop falling. It seems the city fathers rightly decided that placing warning signs on the sidewalks about possible "falling farangs" might be seen in negative light by some. There could be a number of reasons one could end up a splat on the ground, regardless of nationality. If the condo has security guards, it should have CCTV as well. That would go a long way to solving what happened. Note in the story that the police were apparently called twice. Once when "AP" first tried to enter the condo site. "After security guards were called by concerned residents, AP climbed the condo wall in an attempt to flee and vanished. Then, Pattaya police officers were called to investigate and later found out that AP was a tenant and not a trespasser" And a little later: "After an hour passed from police confirming AP was a resident and not a trespasser, Uaychai said to the police that he heard a loud sound and went to inspect to find out that AP fell to his death. The police officers were called once again to investigate the case." So the guy shows up, rattles the gate, scales the wall, then disappears. Police are called and determine (somehow) that the guy was a resident and then leave. An hour later, the security guy hears a noise, finds the body and the police are called in again. Looking at the pics, there is no way he scaled up the wall to the eighth floor so he would have had to enter the building normally and gone to his condo. Normally the police would mention if the unit was "locked from the inside" or not (though that might not be much help unless there was a deadbolt or other device and not just the button on the doorknob). Too many unknown details to determine what might have happened or why. "Erratic behaviour" could be from a number of causes, like getting home at 1am and realizing your wallet and keys are missing from your pocket. Or leaving a short time hotel after a "date" and seeing your "teerak" entering the same hotel with her (new) date. I doubt he'd have been too concerned about any "notification" from home calling him up (at 42 years old) for military service. Not if he's been living here in a condo for any length of time. When I heard "Russian" and "defenestration" one thing immediately came to mind: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
