KRABI: -- A domestic dispute led a Krabi man to attempt leaping off a high-voltage electric pylon yesterday, confirmed officials from the Naneu Administration Organization (OrBorTor) in Ao Leuk.

Prasit Duangjan, a 66-year-old resident of Ao Leuk District, climbed about 30 meters up the pylon, dodging live power lines, and threatened to jump for nearly two hours.

Rescue teams from Ao Leuk Hospital and Tabput Rescue of Phang Nga arrived at the scene to try and stop Mr Prasit from making the leap.

Take the man to a bar and let him fall in love with someone

He needs to stop listening to his depressed farang mates.

What's with all these needy men wanting to jump, when women approach you often in Thailand and say,"I go with you or where you go!"

Wake up jumpers!

Love these days is a serious mental illness unless you have backup....

A rare occasion that 'mental health counselling' is mentioned in a TV article.

It should be more widely publicised around Thailand, it has to be a better thing than committing suicide.

A pylon?

A pylon?

From Wiki "Electricity pylon, or transmission tower, a steel lattice tower used to support an overhead power line".

Yes those great big things which blight the landscape.

I often find pictures are best for some TV members,it's easier sometimes to understand especially if English isn't a first language.
