Georgealbert Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Picture from responders. A dramatic rescue unfolded during the night of December 14, as a 58-year-old German tourist, identified as Mr. Andrea Winker, caused a disturbance at a Pattaya hotel by injuring himself and attempting to jump from a balcony. The incident occurred on the 5th floor of a hotel located on Pattaya Soi 13, Pattaya, Nong Prue subdistrict, Bang Lamung. The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Rescue Unit swiftly responded to the distress call. At the scene, Mr. Winker was found in a highly agitated state. His hotel room was in disarray, with belongings scattered and bloodstains visible throughout the room. Rescue personnel encountered difficulty calming him, as he actively resisted their efforts. Once subdued, they provided first aid and urgently transported him to a hospital for treatment. Hotel staff reported hearing loud shouting from the guest's room before deciding to unlock the door for investigation. Inside, they discovered a chaotic scene: the room was filled with overturned furniture and blood, accompanied by a strong odour. The tourist was seen standing near the balcony, appearing dazed and attempting to climb over the railing in what seemed to be a suicide attempt. Rescue workers successfully negotiated with Mr. Winker to bring him back to safety. Upon closer examination, they found he had sustained a serious head injury, likely from repeatedly banging his head against the wall. The wound was severe, with significant blood loss. After the situation was brought under control, rescue personnel promptly transferred the injured man to a local hospital for further medical care. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek help. -- 2024-12-15 3

G_Money Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 Pattaya attracts an unusually high percentage of farang nutters. One of the reasons why I won’t abandon my home in the USA and live here permanently. 8/9 months a year is already too long. They should charge him extra for having to clean up his bloody mess he made in his room. 2

And what other reason can you come up with for a person to be near the balcony, appearing dazed and attempting to climb over the railing in what seemed to be a suicide attempt. Please expand on your conclusion of "Pure speculation". 2

bradiston Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 All these out of control crazies. Just use a tranquilizer dart and a lasso. Lasso first for restraint, then dart. Then it's a cup of water and rice porridge when you wake up the next morning in chokey, and on yer bike. 2

He needs help no matter where he can get it, immediately. Mental illness runs rampant here as well as everywhere else, and it isn't something that's localized as far as treatment. They aren't "nutters" as one ill informed person put it, but suffering from an illness out of their control. People commit suicide daily all over Thailand, and location has nothing to do with it. 1

Deserted Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Someone should have told him. If you feel like that, go buy some lottery tickets. Then you have to stay alive to see if they come in or not. And if they don't buy some more straight away. 1

So you’re board certified in psychology now? Have you examined this nutter? What were your findings?

Do you actually think getting a piece of paper qualifies you for it while another who makes it a passion instead of a way to earn income doesn't? If you read up on a particular subject for over 30 years, it isn't being qualified as far as being certified but knowledgeable. It isn't hard to determine depression by another's symptoms, as that's what a certified doctor does.
