Lack of attention?

I thought only farangs fell..

Long way to fall. How many times can you say "so far so good!" before impact?

This is becoming a daily event! I think a multi cultural committee should be formed to look into this phenomenon!

 

 

Drunk on the balcony maybe?

How the hell does one fall over the balcony at this condo building? The railings are nearly as high as the nipples of the breasts, just a few cms below them.

This condo?

You know it specifically?

 

Generally:

I am only 172 cm (5"7) and still it's more like belly button when visiting friend or mates 😁

'This is the fourth foreign national to fall from a Pattaya condo in roughly a week,'

As he's Chinese some measures will be taken: a committee will have regular meetings until 2025; their findings + free lunch vouchers/travel expenses will never be published.

It's the one full of Chinese and full of Air BNB renters, and the top of the railing is about half way between the nipples and belly button area for someone around 180cm tall. Impossible to fall over it.

Pattaya city of falling corpses now world class at something 🤔

Just another mysterious fall from the balcony.

They may want to dust the back of his shirt for fingerprints.

You had me guessing as to actual height... 

 

   Are these nipples of a 18yr old woman or a 75 Yr old woman,  can be a big difference...🙄

Yes, a 75yr old with gigantic bazoongas would probably have her nipples as low as her punani at her ripe old age.

Thailand must absolutely top the statistics of people falling from balconies. Maybe something TAT can make a spin on.

You see, they realize they've at last reached Heaven. Life can never get better than in Pattaya. Nothing more is worth achieving. And the thought of going home or moving elsewhere is unbearable.

 

It's long been ackknowledged, nothing new here.

If pattaya did die. where would be the next best place ?

 
@Sommaz on 2008-10-13 10:47:57:

 

Heaven of course.

 

Best to depart now in the state of bliss. To paraphrase an old poem floating around in the 60s,

 

This is IT

This is really IT.

And THAT is THAT.

Someone has died and, right on cue, we have a number of moronic 'jokes' and comments from people who haven't read the full report but comment from ignorance anyway.

Moronic jokes and laughing emojis are disgraceful when there has been a fatality . I wish the moderators would censor .

 

Why are there so often such tragic events in Thailand? 
If this happens so frequently, whatever the reason, why not impose MUCH higher railings for balcony edges? 
If this could prevent 50% of accidents, that would already be something.

Gravity.

 

That thing about nipple height is probably the most pervy thing I've ever seen on this site.

I dunno. A lot of men nowadays have those low hanging nipples. You may see a lot of moobs during Songkran. Those don't get much love here for some reason.

Because you are reading news about incidents in Thailand.

 

This same thing happens in all areas with high tourist footfall... Spain, Cancun....

 

I'm not sure if the numbers of 'balcony falls' in Thailand or specifically, Pattaya, are disporportinately high compaured to the number of tourists.

 

It would need to measured in: Number of falls per 100,000 tourist days...  to achieve a comparable metric,
