Rimmer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Dutchman falls to his death from South Pattaya Hotel balcony PATTAYA:--A Dutch resident of Pattaya fell from his 8th floor apartment balcony to his death on Tuesday Morning. Police were called to LK The Empress Hotel in Soi 12 off Pattaya Beach Road and were directed to the ground floor, close to a bank of air conditioner compressor units where the body of Mr. Johannes Adrianus Antonius Maria Poirters aged 62 from the Netherlands lay. According to Hotel staff he had checked-in on 29th May with his Thai Wife Khun Harn aged 44 and CCTV images showed her leaving with a large suitcase last week presumably following an argument. CCTV also captured the moment when he fell and an inspection of the room revealed a large amount of alcoholic beverages and many cigarette butts in an ashtray on the balcony. Police examined all the evidence and initially recorded the death as a suicide but will wait for the results of a post mortem examination.

soihok Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Lets not jump to conclusions here. He could have been having time of his life, loads of booze and smoking in the room, slipped over the edge on the 8th floor. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been having time of his life, loads of booze and smoking in the room, slipped over the edge on the 8th floor. Who knows? Fair play - you could be right; but IMHO that scenario seems unlikely. I've not stayed in the hotel mentioned but I stayed in VT 6 a while back and that had a lovely balcony that I used to sit on in the evenings. There was no way you would go over unless you wanted to (or someone else was involved). I hope his family and wife don't take it too hard when they find out.

ALFREDO Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 -gaucho- Good story! Solution, built a sunroof above your Appartement-balcon, verandah made of thick enough stainless steel.

kdf Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Why does there seem to be a preponderance of flying Dutchmen, or other expats, in Pattaya? Not just Dutchmen, but all expats seem to be in grave danger on balconies. RIP, good gentleman, but dad gum if I am going out on a balcony in a Pattaya hotel. Is there just a wish to report every such incident, regardless of nationality, that happens in Pattaya or is there really an epidemic of falling farangs in my neighborhood? What do you good folk think, are these poor suicidal gents, murder victims, or are Pattaya Hotel balconies just inordinately slippery? Inquiring minds want to know! kdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionchaser45 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Instead of the "Land of Smiles," they should be calling it the "Land of Falling Farang." I have never read of so many cases of men falling off their balconies in my lifetime. Don't women ever fall from their balconies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchooptip Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 First, falling in love for many farangs meeting Thai women, second, falling from grace for the unfortunates, things always happened in threes, the second situation leads to the third, falling from the balcony for the unlucky one! My first post this morning was removed, I supposed the mod was right :-) so I am coming back more gently! the sentence " there's plenty of fish in the Pattaya sea Its not like there's a shortage of these woman" (for me) is a shame ! First having aThai wife I do respect (and generally respecting my hosts) had I been a Mod I would have moved it. Moreover what would think the Thai people on TV of such a sentence? these women "in no shortage" are they merchandise? I hope not, and will try to take it as a mere blunder that could happen to any one! PS: OK Rimmer? I did my best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
