Three reasons. It's only paradise if you have money; even a little> that's gone and you have nothing. Secondly if you are going to do it, do it in a paradise. Lastly, a lot of suicides are not technically suicide unless you include the events leading up to death such as marrying bar girl.

My most humble apologies to you and your kind ... unfortunately the OP is not of your kind.

Mind you ... his timing is spot on!

It's obvious. Men jump to conclusions that life in Thailand with a beautiful young woman would be paradise. Then, without researching the country and not spending any length of time in Thailand they sell everything they own and burn all their bridges behind them before moving to Thailand. What they expected and what actually happens is so dramatically different that they can't handle their big mistake. They are actually "momma's boys" and can't handle real life.

Ian, my apologies in advance, but one of the best, unwitting opening statements ...

Brilliant observation, considering that so many of these so called "suicides" happen with farangs "jumping" out of high buildings.

Why don't Poles commit suicide more often? Answer... because it's hard to commit suicide jumping out of a basement suite.

UK

approx 500,000 deaths per year.

5,000 - 6,000 of these are by suicide, just over 1%.

Bearing in mind the age demographic of Brits in Thailand and the frequency of heavy drinking/chronic alcoholism when compared to the UK in general, the non-figures/anecdotal evidence for Thailand don't surprise in the least.

because people travel with their problems, issues, tendencies and coming to thailand can exacerbate them rather than solve them.

U need money in paradise. I suspect that the lack of money would be a root cause..

Couple that with some unstable types to begin with...

But ... If there was a lack of money would be not a root (cause) .. hence no coupling to begin with.

BookMan, you are a genius ... so much material to work with.

ps ... I liked the Soi Dog ... just saying.

EDIT

I'll stop now, which will make everyone happy ... next

Why Farangs Suicide In Los?

Heartbroken

Funds diminished

Social Security fraud (maybe)

Ex pats ripping them off of their life savings

But then we have the very suspect "suicides"!.. a death certificate of convenience!

The topic was about Farang suicides.

Which always seems to be males. Of course men are the bigger demographic of expats here, granted. But still, havent heard of any female expat suicides (and im sure many have had their fair share of issues themselves).

Some guys come to Thailand not having had a good looking GF or a decent relationship throughout their lives. Some guys come here not ever having had any GF I suspect.

They pick up a drop dead gorgeous BG and have a few weeks or months of the best time of their lives. They are given the full GF experience and then for a variety of reasons that relationship ends.

The guy is distraught and he then starts thinking about what he has to go back home to. A lonely room, no GF, back to the dreary depressing life he had before.

Suicide seems like a good way out.

IanForbes - Why don't Poles commit suicide more often?

I think the answer is quite simple - not really possible to commit suicide more than once - unless you are a Buddhist of course! Sorry, couldn't resist
