I love a good old balcony story.

I FINk this one will run for a while.

[Pattaya Pat]

It's official... He's Finnished

Jesus, show some compassion.

What do you expect, this is Thaivisa, the forum with the most cynic and bitter expats

There's a lot of opinionated and argumentative people on TV but that sort of crass idiotic unthinking comment is far from the norm.

Calm down love.

Find a mirror.

The usual speculation, pseudo-detective work and unkind statements are often an accompanyment to these sad stories.

Compassion and prayers for the deceased and family are an alternative. All of us are on an uncharted journey and an unknown reckoning awaits us all.

RIP dear man.

"No blame on the Thai man, just blame the alcohol, for MAKING him do unusual violent confrontational actions" This is joking, isn't it? At least I hope so!

Balcony rails are often insanely low here, as MJP pointed out (who would argue the contrary?). Guess they don't want to "spoil the view" which is even more wide open during your rapid descent from said balcony.

[marko kok prong]

remember the recent case in phuket,'the railings were too low for a falang' so he fell,if kon thai and smaller,no problem,so maybe we have another 'deadly railing case'

[fish fingers]

How is it possible that so many people falling or jumping from their balconies here in Thailand...

Sounds very strange

Its a tall conspiracy

[fish fingers]

with the v low glass I'm surprised and almost disappointed any bankers have yet to fall from Sirocco sky bar

[biplanebluey]

.............f*** off.........

...why would he jump.....

...they were having an argument.....

...so what do you think is a more likely scenario......

And he jumps naked ?????---------- NO IDEA------need more info

[noitom]

Thai police should see that the dead man's family is notified.

This may seem like a crazy theory, but I'm guessing it's because many people live in hi rise condos.

"Kallervo said Aalholm had just been diagnosed with cancer and the Thai man had been keeping his company while he was off working as bartender on a cruise ship." Is anyone confused by this sentence? "The Thai man had been keeping his (who Kallervo or Aalholm) company while he (Kallervo or Aalholm) was . . ." Can't anyone write English if they are going to publish in English. What a convoluted bit of reporting.

A tragic situation for Mr. Aalholm being diagnosed with cancer and his untimely death. RIP

Rest in peace. My prayers are with this gentleman's family at this terrible time. I can not even imagine how sorrowful they must be, and I can only pray that they have support and comfort to help them deal with this tragic event.

Seems to be an epidemic of these in southern Thailand.
