Popular Post DrLom Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well.. he was out until 5.45am - maybe with the wrong lassie. That does not necessarily explain how he fell from the 5th floor of the hotel, or even got up there. Throwing things at staff - sure he pissed off a few people - but no need to throw him out from a height! He "just ran up and fell down" my ass. Maybe spiked drinks, maybe took a girl with a bf.... who knows....... but how he got to the 5th floor will ever remain a mystery. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taony Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) ran up and fell down??? Is there an outside to that floor or did he have to entire a room first? Who let him up? He didn't take the elevator, he ran? Plus all the other questions already in this thread and to come. Or is "Suicide" just a one page file?

NongKhaiKid Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 During my time in Hong Kong in the summer months we used to joke it was dangerous to walk near high rise buildings due to the chance of being hit by a falling student committing suicide because his / her grades weren't good enough for tertiary education. Bkk and Pattaya are no better it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dddave Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2014 One can always count on the always lurking ThaiVisa Vulture Squad not to miss an opportunity such as this to put forth their snide and malicious postulations like sniggering adolescents. What sad cases you must be to take such obvious pleasure from anothers misfortune. A tragedy for the victim and those who cared for him and certainly a story, the whole truth of which will probably never be known. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMSOBAD Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 IF he owed money to the hotel they would investigate, but if he was just running off the street they will wait for the story to get old and never look into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The Nana Hotel hardly the hotel of choice if you have come for anything else but what the cesspits surrounding it offer. Another day in paradise, another sad death through misadventure,and the real story may never be known. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokHank Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Must be them ladyboys again. Believe it or not, I once took refuge in the Nana Hotel while running away from a pack of big, angry ladyboys. They were after me because I warned a drunk farang in the soi that he was about to have his pocket picked by one of them. I used my knowledge of the hotel to my advantage, though: The ladyboys saw me go in the front door, but they didn't see me go out the back door. For the next three weeks I didn't leave my apartment in Soi Nana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Quiz: When we read reports where people die, what do they all have in common?A: There is nothing funny about people dying.B: It is disrespectful to make fun of the suffering of others, up to and including those grieving friends and family left behind.C: It is a reflection of the poor taste and judgement of the authors of 'death satire' and reveals a personality that is rather odd.D: All of the above.If you answered "D" ... congratulations and welcome to the human race.This particular story strikes a personal chord with me. I almost died in the same hotel in 1980. Was not funny then, still not funny, never will be funny. Edited September 12, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
