What a way to go

Thailand - A factory owner with money troubles climbed onto the roof of his building in central Thailand to raise a flag believed to ward off bad luck and then slipped and fell to his death, police said on Friday.

Boonchai Lotharakphong, 43, whose factory made sportswear for the American company Nike, died on Thursday when he slipped off the roof in Lopburi province, 115 kilometres north of Bangkok, police Maj Jeerasak Kerddee Muangkon said.

The man's factory produced clothing for Nike for the past 10 years, but faced financial problems since the regional economic crisis of 1997.

To improve his fortunes, Boonchai visited a Chinese fortune teller who gave him the flag - believed to have magical powers - and told him to fly it from the roof of the factory to act as a charm and prevent bad luck.
