Strangebrew Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Rule one in Thailand never turn your back to a Thai while taking in view out window or from balcony. rule 2 always lookup before walking past high rise buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Gravy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) A very sad story, as are all of the other countless deaths. Well Thailand you can finally say it and it isn't laughable for once, just very plausible.. Thailand is truly the Hub of people jumping (oops accidently falling) off balconies.

lildragon Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Is there some sort of statistic for these kind of deaths in world cities? BKK and Pattaya must be up there in ranks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanFarang Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 In my country, the higher floor, the higher the rent. Why not get a place on the ground or first floor, save some money and have nothing more than some skinned knees if you should accidentally fall?

MexicanFarang Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) ....personally........I have never heard of people going on vacation......to commit suicide.....The Golden Gate Bridge is the second-most used suicide site/suicide bridge in the world, after the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.Many are not "local", so yes, people take vacations to commit suicide. So, China is a World Leader. In Mental Illness... Edited November 25, 2014 by MexicanFarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Talionis Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 No sign of struggle was found in the room, investigators said, but they will review footprints taken from the balcony. 1. There'd be no signs of struggle if the victim was knocked out/sedated/drugged & carried to the window/balcony. Or led at gunpoint. 2. There must be quite a few footprints on that balcony, no help there. Seems to me falls from high buildings are an almost foolproof means to a perfect murder. A fact, I am sure, not lost on local thugs. A previous poster who lives there said there are no balconies in that building, just windows. Not saying this was murder but.....

willyumiii Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have wondered if all of the people "falling" to their death in Thailand is actually due to a "cultural, language thing." I have often noticed that my wife and other Thais I know who speak english never drop anything. Things leave their hands, and then "fall" to the floor and break! " How did that plate break?" " It fell and broke on floor." " Where did it fall from?" " My hands." It seems that people are never pushed and never seem to jump in Thailand... They "fall" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ3 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I was living in that condo at the time and he "fell" wearing a backpack. Strange,but who really a knows?. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
