Does anyone know the statistics of how many deaths by falling or jumping from high rise hotels and condos happened in Thailand this past year?

What are the chances of most all of these being suicides? According to Thai police 100% of these deaths of foreigners were either accidents or suicides...

Clumsy tourists...

Goodbye present ??

So can have toast at funeral ??

Well the money in his wallet was still there so lets hope it will be sent back to his relatives. R.I.P

He jumped from a window by a communal lift and rubbish bin area. The window ledge is about 4 feet off the ground. He would have had to open the window and climb out. If he had access to a room (he didn't live in the condo) he could had very easily have jumped off a balcony which have very low railings of under 3 feet

Look at the first picture. This is not a scenario in which someone was pushed.

This building is very popular with Koreans and Kasetsart University students.

You need to swap your two clauses around and you have your answer.

Doesn't say that in the article. It says he CARRIED two bottles when entering. So a) he could have BOUGHT them anytime before, and they could have been half consumed or even empty actually.

Perhaps he didn't plan it but circumstances prompted him to do it?

He was seen with two bottles of whiskey, but they were not recovered? I wonder what happened to them? R.I.P. anyhow.

The press report is wrong. It was 2 bottles of beer not whiskey.

because he wanted to drink them before the big jump... people smoke a last cigarette too.

it s just very sad, I blame the worldwide crisis for all these suicides. the guy was only 45.

The answer is obvious. Though one bottle would be enough for most people.

He jumped from a window by a communal lift and rubbish bin area. The window ledge is about 4 feet off the ground. He would have had to open the window and climb out.

It's well known the Korean and Japanese tourists are a little 'dramatic' when they drink - men & women - they fall in love in a heart beat..........then get crazy - jealous - 'dumb' about it all - before you start ?? why I say this...............I spent 60 months in Korea - in the villages, not Seoul - I have seen it all. including men killing their whole family because of a ??? you fill in the blanks...........why do you think Vietnam has made it illegal for a Korean man to marry a girl eight years younger then him............
