Popular Post Classic Ray Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 5 minutes ago, Almer said: So yesterday it was reported that a lady went to the police because of blackmail regarding explicit pictures whilst she was in a rest room, the report gave her name the fact she sold Durian and the place she sold them in fact chapter and verse. But today all we have is a big Hotel opposite a mall Rich hotels can sue for defamation, poor stallholders and shopkeepers cannot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pattaya57 Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 (edited) 7 minutes ago, SportRider said: IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS HOW MANY DEATHS ARE CAUSED SIMPLY BY LOW RAILINGS ON HOTEL BALCONIES. In developed nations, regulations require railings at a height sufficient to prevent easily toppling over by accident. Sadly, that is NOT the case here. This should be part of the Embassy country warnings. Balconies at Hilton look pretty solid. People shouldn't be falling over that...

Deez Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The one meter high patio rails are deadly for anyone over 170cm. How many more "tragic" falls needed before they raise the height on all of them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ebumbu Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 The only way I approach these balcony railings is on my knees or belly. Can't always say it was a death of despair. It could have been a few drinks and lost balance, especially for someone who is tall. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 5 hours ago, webfact said: an individual falling from a height The English of the reports on this site provide enough amusement in itself to read articles, even if the topic is of no interest!

Sig Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 4 hours ago, Tropicalevo said: This is a very tricky subject. I am a strong advocate for assisted suicide. I watched my son die very slowly from brain cancer for two and a half years. His wife wanted to keep him live as long as possible for their children. I am adamant that I will not let that happen to me. I have a living will and friends and family are aware of my wishes, but as you say...... ........ I often think about the ones I will leave behind. I believe that suicide, whether assisted or not, is one of the most selfish acts a human being can do. While I can definitely understand many situations where one may feel like doing such a thing, in the end, it is phenomenally selfish. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlest1971 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 15 hours ago, Pattaya57 said: Why, because someone decides to commit suicide there while on holiday. How is that Pattaya's fault... You’re assuming this was suicide? When there are an abnormal amount of tourist deaths in one place, then you have to start asking questions about whether there is a connection between some of these deaths? Having watched the documentary Murder in Paradise (2023), Thailand does have ‘form’ on this. Although this documentary was about Koh Tao, Pattaya does seem to be following a similar pattern. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27040800/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posit the trul selfish stance is trying to impose your beliefs on the wishes of others regarding their OWN life. It is theirs ,and theirs alone not yours. But you would impose an agonizing ,drawn out end to the life of one with a terminal illness? On what basis? Perhaps your belief in an unsubstantiated imaginary friend ? 1 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is pushing them off.. contrary to what some Thai Visa sleuths will have you believe How are you so sure of this? It often comes to my mind that it would be a very easy way for crims to make money. Observe a foreigner making a withdrawal at an ATM, with a few mates follow them back to their room, knock on the door rush in, make sure you have the money, throw the foreigner over the rail. Could use a female as bait and follow them back to his room. Do police check how long the foreigner has booked the room, have they made a recent cash withdrawal, do they have cash on their person or in the room after death. Too easy to declare it suicide. Once the crims leaves the room what evidence is left behind? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I can definitely understand many situations where one may feel like doing such a thing, in the end, it is phenomenally selfish. Fortunately for the rest of the world there are mental health experts that understand depression far better than you. If this was suicide, which is not confirmed I believe, the anguish and pain this poor chap was going through must have been unimaginable. That does not take away from any pain and grief his loved ones will have to go through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
