Lucky fall...but looks serious from the pic. Happy I never took a liking to alcohol when I read such stories.

":treated for serious injuries, given emergency CPR and rushed to hospital."

 

"Mr Sarayuth is now in a coma"

[ClutchClark]

That is massive head trauma.

 

I don't see a good recovery in the future. 

 

Thais love their graphic photos.

 

I would hate to see my loved one displayed as such.

Photos like this are actually a teachable moment...same for auto accident photos from drink driving or careless driving. I'd don't know where this Western meme about showing crime-accident scene photos comes from...it's like the culture somehow want to deny reality.

 

The coma doesn't sound good...a possible wasted life for the pleasure of a "good time."

Western Culture has respect and consideration for the injured or deceased family.

 

If you need a photo like this to teach you not to drink while sitting on the edge of balconies then maybe you better stixk to ground floors.

So digging a little deeper, how or why does not showing a picture of some tragic event show or convey "respect." And why this need for "consideration"...isn't it just as important, maybe even more so, to use such an unfortunate event as teaching moment for others in the community...especially the young?

 

Not trying to be argumentative...but I just don't get it. If myself or a relative was involved in such an event, I wouldn't have a problem with such photos...it happened...face up to it is my attitude. If they are distressing don't look at them.

Also not being argumentative but I do not wish to see these pictures as I find them distressing to look at, however they are posted directly at the front of each of the stories which makes them impossible to avoid

There are many ways of searching and finding these pictures if someone wishes to of their own accord. From the relatives perspective many would not wish to see a loved one in this condition as a last reminder of the person they have lost

A few years ago, a motorcyclist in England was killed in an accident, which was caught on his helmet cam. His mother released the video in the hope that others might learn from it. The video is not gory, but the insane speed at which the motorcyclist was traveling is truly terrifying. Enough to make me take it down a notch tooling around town on my Honda Click!

Why do you need to see a corpse with blood puddling from his head?

 

Why is this necessary for you to understand the story?

 

or are you saying you get some gratification from it?

 

 

[BlindMagician]

Lets all stand around grinning, smirking, pointing, waiting for someone to do something. It's ok, if he's going to die, he'll die. If not, he won't. If dead already, then that's all done and dusted. TIT, its the Thai way.

But if the pictures were not taken and posted to some public internet site in the first place, a search for them would come up empty no?

Well now you're just trolling and engaging in strawman arguments, which I won't dignify with a reply. 

 

Valid questions.

 

not trolling...just asking you for the reason for your statement.

 

i provided reason to not post such graphic photos.

And I previously said why they might be of some value. People are free to make their own judgment.

First thing I saw in school was photos of Genocide in Europe.  I then was more tolerant.

 

Driver's education always started with shocking, gruesome photos, and I then respected the fact that drinking and driving ends up badly.

 

In Thailand (I am not trying to be funny or uncaring) I learned that drinking and hanging out on a Balcony would go bad.  Also learned to control my temper while driving. My wife now flies instead of using tourist vans and buses.

 

All due to the horror of photographs.  We all pity friends and families. My brother passed away a month ago, right after his daughter's wedding.  He was a doctor and there was no funeral (just a memorial gathering).  He was sped to the hospital, where all his organs were removed. Many people now have benefited.   Nothing gruesome.....just helping other people understand.

I thought it was horrible....no goodbyes.  A bad analogy...but the logic is the same.  People learn quickly...when the lessons are serious.

So lets all stand around take photos, plaster them on the news and social media but not a single person giving 1st aid

Thais deal with reality. They don't try and sugar coat it. It's half the reason people back home cant handle the seriousness of life as they're constantly protected from the reminders of what complacency or stupidity brings.

 

Wouldn't bother me  in the slightest. It is what it is.

Is it only here that horrendous pictures are placed on cigarette packages?

It is not a corpse if you read the story. It is an injured man.

[Wazza1]

The story says he went to sit on the balcony, from the photo it looks like he missed the seat by about 4 feet.

    I've heard it said that there's really no such thing as Acrophobia (fear of heights).

Apparently it's more likely a fear that an individual won't be able to come-up with a

good enough reason not to jump!

Governments all over the world are using more and more graphic tv advertisements to get the message across to the masses ie: motor vehicles accidents.

it has become quite common now to see very serious injury/dead bodies (although staged Ido admit) on prime time tv.
