25 year old mother jumps from 6th floor balcony at Jomtien condominium

PATTAYA:--A 25 year old mother of a 3 month old baby reportedly jumped from a 6th floor apartment in Jomtien late on Monday Night following a minor verbal altercation with her British boyfriend.

Police and rescue services were called to View Talay 2 Condominium Building A to assist Khun Tubtim who was lying on the ground underneath her 6th floor apartment. Also there was her Mother, Khun Somjai aged 47 and her British boyfriend known as Mr. Tim, who explained to Police that his girlfriend had returned to the apartment just before 10pm and was in an intoxicated state after spending the evening with friends.

He commented on the odor of drink coming from her and due to her emotional state which was undoubtedly exaggerated due to the level of intoxication, she apparently went out onto the balcony and jumped off.

She'll be regretting her actions this morning.

You said it! That's one hangover that's gonna hurt big time.

I don't know why, but no matter how drunk or angry I've ever been, I've never had the urge to jump off a balcony. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Sad for the baby, he lost a chance not to know a so stupid and sick Mom that his certainly as smart Dad had chosen to be his mother.

Amazing she did not die...........yet.

Nobody suspects the boyfriend?? No of course not, he's british. If it have been the other way, it would have been suspicious.

According to the Thai language report, Thapthim Wibool is from Roi Et. Her English boyfriend's name is Tim Dotto. The report even gives his room number if you want to pop round. Thapthim is now in a serious condition in Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. She was found on the grass lawn when the Sawang Boriboon guys arrived. This may have saved her life. 47-year-old Somjai is her stepmother, not her biological mother also.

It seems very popular in Thailand to jump from hieghts for both Thai and westerners. 2 days ago I was at the 4th floor roadside of Bkk airport and saw a man not 10 metres away attempt to jump from the railing while arguing with his girl friend. It was a genuine attampt and if not for the quick action of a taxi driver he would have made it. It took 3 Thai guys to hold him from jumping as he had one leg over and another 3 to drag him back to the foot path where he struggled with them and later the police. Love is a powerfull mind altering drug

Indeed love is a powerful drug but I would venture alcohol is even more so.

Post partum depression is nothing to sneer at, and she would have been a prime candidate

Precisely my point, alcohol + depression = self-harm, self-destructive behaviour and suicide attempts.

Tragedy for all concerned

Post Partem + Alcohol NOT a good mix . An observation not factually known by me.

My take (and merely my opinion based on what I have read, along with other examples of similar behaviour I have heard about)

Woman says she is going out to meet friends for some food. Will be about 2 hours.

Comes back 7 hours later smashed on Leo.

Boyfriend who has been at home looking after the young baby who may still be breastfeeding is unhappy with mother getting smashed when she said she was just popping out for a bit. Also stessed because baby crying, hungry misses mother etc.

Tells her to sort herself out, she is a mother and needs to be responsible for the child's sake.

All too common Thai reaction of not accepting fault along with intoxicated state kicks in and instead of accepting any blame says she will jump off the balcony to deflect attention away from her own failings.

Boyfriend who by that time was pissed off not only with the drunken staying out but also childish mind games says "go on then I dont care"

Mother then unable to back down due to loss of face as well as having no other tricks up her sleeve to get herself off the hook does it to spite him.

Better not to post things like this as it makes you appear a very sad and somewhat disturbed individual.

Actually you are wrong.

If you read the Thai language report, the stepmother says that Thapthim acted offended without apparent reason, walked out on to the balcony and jumped.

Hold on, maybe the stepmother is in on it too.

Thai girls can become extremely emotional in certain circumstances. Just last month I found out that my cashier was on the fiddle, and when I confronted her with the evidence she jumped up and, before grabbing a meat cleaver, smashed a bottle over my head, just like that ! So rude !!

Isn't it rare to survive a six story fall?

Grass. She was found on a lawn.

Maybe landing on the grass helped?

Isn't post #6 meant to be a snide attack on the British?

Yes, you are definitely correct. No new record here.

Tell us more..

did she get a pay rise?

Don't think the holiday insurance will cover this one.

Husband has a financial headache to come

sorry, i missed the part where you mentioned depression

One of the hazards of not learning how to talk things out is acting on emotions. I believe that many a life could have been saved if the parties involved had better communication skills.

But he is right.

I think the crossover point is around 4 stories, though there are many variables and falling on to a grassed area rather than concrete obviously makes a huge difference. VT2A also has palm trees just in front of the building, which may have absorbed some of the energy.

I was told by someone last year that the area was grassed over deliberately, in case of "things" falling.
