Spanish Man Blogs Bangkok Suicide On Facebook: Police

Some of the replies here are very sad indeed.

Poor bloke was clearly depressed, and had no one in Thailand to turn to for help. Very sad indeed....and the latest in a long line.

Heaven or hell...whatever....its a tragic loss of a future.

This country detaches you from the culturally relative notion of progress that exists in the minds of most of those in the Western world. Bangkok is proof that if you want to exploit your way to riches, you will be amply rewarded (caveat: you must be incredibly cognizant of the current power order that is based on a local notion of reputation, mostly incomprehensible to the foreign world). Then you will become fabulously wealthy (while being compromised by the constant need to show heed to hi-so's and other local higher-ups [you're a foreigner; good luck!]) If you work for a Thai company, be prepared for a mind-enema. You're about to be shown up. It's a world unto itself, and that is the general attitude. So many foreigners commit suicide here. They lose faith in humanity, and they are emotionally vulnerable. Also, the police generally declare most foreigner deaths 'suicides', especially in Pattaya.

Looks like the Spaniard was not the only one taking drugs!

I love reading posts from people who can't intellectually digest a basic philosophical issue. Hahaha. Yeah. Good one. I'm taking drugs too. You're so funny. How'd you get to be so funny?

"More and more Spaniards leave

because of the economic

crisis.

In the first half of this year

emigrated more than 40,000

people, more than twice as much

as in the same period last

year.

This is evident from figures of

the Spanish Statistical Office

INE published yesterday."
