It isn't the jokes forum, show some respect. Show some compassion, a man, husband, and father to a baby has died. R.I.P and condolences to the family. Not defending the post you quoted, but in all honesty this happens all the time on the "news" forum when Thais are involved. This forum is just chock full of bitter expats. So either start defending all the other threads where Thais are involved with falls from high rises or just accept that TV "news" is nothing more than the "jokes" forum.

I agree there are many bitter expats here, living in their breeze-block mansions in Nakon Nowhere, with a TV login the highlight of their day. They can complain about their 90 day reporting, and the state of the nation, surrounded by deadbeat family whose only interest is their piffling pension cheque and how long they will continue too receive it. But really, this baby girl will no doubt google her father's death in the future and to see some insensitive poster (looking for "likes") suggest that her mother pushed him could really upset her. Were there any Thais involved here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yet another seemingly all-to-frequent and tragic foreign balcony-death !!! With sympathy for the gentleman's family I once again post the link to a web site documenting deaths (from all causes) of foreigners in Thailand - https://www.farang-deaths.com/. Making people aware of the hazards may help make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStationBangkok Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 He might fall by accident, even some cases of saving a slipped mobile can cause an accident in balconies, or some hotels have unsafe fencing in the balcony, where suddenly you might lose control fall down. I am sure, a man with little baby and wife, as tourist leaving his wife and little baby abandoned in an unknown country will commit a suicide. May pray for his wife and baby to safely return to Turkey, and God give them braveness to accept this tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand you being a bit bitter Colin due to your predicament but please think of the others in this sad affair. A pretty horrible insinuation to level at a bereaved wife with a child. I am sure she wished the family had never come to Thailand so her family was still intact. May the wife and child find some happiness in the distant future after such a sad occasion.

hdkane Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Serious question...are the railings on these balconies of these places lower than in other countries? I've never stood on a railing in my life, and that is the only way I can imagine falling...not a conspiracy theorist at all, but these accidents happen quite frequently here...

Yes they are lower and have slippery floors as well. Also there's fake alcohol for sale in Thailand and it's very hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 RIP Kadir and condolences to your family and friends, I would never check into a room with a low level balcony rail as I enjoy a drink and I know it would be all too easy to fall over these knee level balcony rails as apparently is all to frequent happening in Thailand.

friendphil Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 And yet another tragic fall. The frequency should be alarming to 'the authorities'. Does anyone ever pause to think there might be a way to prevent some of these? Perhaps a beginning could be for the reportage to include a description of how safe each of these balconies is. Are they a safe height, so that any fall would have to be intentional, at least? Reportage might include this kind of information in the stories. And might there be a way to intervene, or at least an attempt to intervene, by warning hotel guests with a safety sign on balconies, and a HOTLINE number to call for those thinking of jumping. I know, this suggestion might seem laughable, but just maybe something could be implemented. May all beings be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
