A witness says he was being a naughty boy and this contributed to him falling?

How exactly?

Did he climb over a guard railing?

Or was this an absence of safety designed building construction?

Sure glad the little fella is OK.

[trogers]

Only a cage can keep a naughty boy safe in a highrise...

[jacko45k]

First thought is always the room balcony to worry about. This appears to be the stairwell.

Stairwells are often open plan and I wonder whether this needs to be stopped.

Safety not paramount in Thailand and dumb parents don't help!

Most rails are too low and have you noticed the Escalators are the same.

Paragons are far too low and obviously designed for shorter Asian people.

If I had been the witness to some ghastly child being naughty I probably would have thrown him over the railings myself.

Condos are not suitable places for children and they should be excluded from them, just like pets are.

Thankfully the boy seems to be okay all things considered. Speedy recovery to him.

There are several very sad cases about kids falling off balconies in Thailand but here it seems to be from the staircase landing.

Edit: No I agree, condo's is not really a good place to raise a kid, one of the reasons we live in a moo baan ourselves.

Okay the Russian family is likely on holidays here so can't compare, but still.

...curious to know....

....were the parents present.....

...or was it hired help....

Some months ago my wife was showing a Russian couple a condo ,their kid she said was a nightmare , he went straight to the balcolny and started to climb up on the railings , the parents just pulled him off . wonder if it was this kid .?

[hobobo]

I bet the parents are glad they lived on a 3rd floor! They were tempted with views from higher floors but.... I hope the naughty boy recovers soon!

[sharecropper]

I've often noticed Russian parents are surprisingly permissive about their kids' bratty, irritating or potentially dangerous behaviour here.

[ClutchClark]

Sounds like it was one lucky boy that his folks didn't live on a higher floor.

[little mary sunshine]

Stupid parents...watch your children

Only 9 years old!!

Atlantis is a new condo and very popular among Russian families. It's not the cheapest condo in this area and the building at least from the outside looks to be high quality. Bur accidents happen anywhere.

so the low railings on Thai high-rise balconies is not the reason for this one, eh?

The news items says 'the body...".

to survive a three storey is a miracle.

wonder what was the outcome?

If you in your wisdom decide something is unsafe to use, then don't use it !

[Bsdk]

just waiting to hear from one of the TV detective that it was a ladyboy or a girlfriend that did it

[Rod Gold]

The real story here is why the reports of condo jumping have all but dried up.

A few months back, condo and hotel jumping was constantly in the news, foreigners coming to Thailand to defy gravity and commit suicide, according to the police reports.

Then, miraculously, it just stopped happening, if you can believe the news.

Call me a skeptic, but to think condo jumping no longer is happening is a bit of a stretch.

[KittenKong]

to survive a three storey is a miracle.

As far as I know it is only above the fifth floor that falls generally result in death. It also depends a great deal on which part of your body you land on, and what you land on.

[jinners]

The ONLY surprise here is it doesn't happen more frequently. Russian parents usually allow their kids to roam free often being really annoying with no parental control, use the pool as a baby sitter, and are generally absent during their children's daytime frolics. Hope the kids OK but the Russians in particular have no interest at all in what they get up to. No surprise in this outcome.

kids can be very naughty and nothing to do with building design. Kids love to climb things, thinking they are a super hero or mimicking what they see in movies.

I was a stupid kid once, climb down the balcony of the 2nd floor with a rope when I was around 10...guess I watched too many movies as well ...my brother was horrified when he saw me go over the balcony

Let's hope no one relies on your (lack of) knowledge then.
