False alarm as Brit decides not to make Phuket leap of despair

Naraporn Tuarob

PHUKET: Police were called to a hotel in Patong around 2.30am today (September 12) after reports that a British man was preparing to jump off a room balcony after a fight involving his British girlfriend and a Thai bargirl.

Police said the man, Michael, in his 30s, went to Bangla Rd in Patong with his British girlfriend Gemma last night. Later on that evening, a bar girl reportedly came to talk to the couple while they were drinking at a bar.

It appears Gemma got jealous, the couple fought, and returned to the hotel with Gemma demanding a separate room.

The row apparently plunged Michael into despair. He climbed out onto the balcony of the hotel and it appeared he was about to jump. Hotel staff promptly contacted police.

However, by the time officers arrived at the hotel, Michael was back in his room. Police brought no charges.

Why not organise, on the side, to meet the bar girl the next day at a short time hotel room while Gemma is out shopping, or getting her hair and nails done. Problem solved. :) :)

The guy is lucky his last name did not appear in the media (as far as I can see), otherwise this drunk action to get a point through to his girlfriend would have followed him around for the rest of his life. Like being turned down at a job application because a simple Google search would turn up this story.

You just gotta love holidays don't ya. All of the happy snaps that you take back home and reflect on years down the track. Also the news paper clippings you can take home with you to

remind you what a tool you were. Imagine if he got up on that roof then tripped. Oh well, such is life. He didn't trip, but can now look forward to forever being ridiculed by what may be his

now Ex-Girlfriend, and the mutual friends they once shared. Bet he can't wait for his next big holiday adventure. clap2.gif

  1. Guy gets drunk.

Chats up a taxi girl.

Girlfriend gets pissed off (rightly so).

Dude realizes he screwed up and tries some melodrama (without any intention to actually to top himself).

Girlfriend knows this.

Result = EPIC FAIL (and a lot of groveling, flowers, and a diamond ring down the road).

BREAKING NEWS: - Farang refuses to jump.

This is definitely not good for Thailand's reputation. He has seriously placed the mantel of the HUB of Leapers in jeopardy and spoilt a good bitch session on Thai Visa..

Excellent!! A Hub joke!! Even though the Hub expression fell into disuse immediately after Thaksin was hurled out seven years ago, there are those who persist in keep it alive, because it is endless possibilities as a foot soldier on the front lines of expat humour... thank you for your service to the expat community, sir. Keep the hub wit flowing... no really... please do.

Wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Thai building codes and the height of balcony railings.

And then someone's bound to go into a lengthy (& faulty)analysis of the story, concluding that "something doesn't smell right," and blame it all on the bar girl or the ski jet operators.

Some people should not be let out of the country.

...or leave home without an adult.

Or a brain transplant. Lucky Gemma, if she has more marbles than her boyfriend then the holiday was well worth while.

That's not a given of course!

Just because Gemma wasn't up for the pan cultural threesome...no need to top yourself lad.

Michael--first, he totally failed at presenting the excellent case for the threesome.

And then, worse, he failed to dump Gemma and leave w/ bar girl for a happy ending. And then . . . .

What a screwup. Idiot Brits!

lol, so the girl got so mad just because the guy was chatting with a bg? And the guy was so stupid to pull this act? If it was me the, by then exgf, would have been sleeping in another room (at her own expense).

Never understood people that take coals to Newcastle. Still worse, why you'd get so upset over chicks fighting over you.

I always find it flattering. . . tongue.png

Usually the guy who makes the last mistake or bad decision loses. Fortunately, he got in just under the wire. But it just might be time to go home.

It probobly had nothing to do with the argument with his GF, he wanted to top himself after getting the bar bill at the end of the night !
