This is a very sad story. A couple  over in Thailand  for their vacation,  and this accident happens.

This is  not a story to joke about  or  make lite of  either. Especially wen it is December and

is now in the 12 days of Christmas. And fooey to anyone who takes offence of me , saying

Christmas.

Geezer

Well said, but why would anyone take offence at you saying Christmas?

The victim. you mean victims. the mother and child.

 

He's not blaming the mother and child. He's blaming the guy who went out on the balcony either for a smoke or some fresh air and fell over a low railing and lost his life.

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?

May he RIP and condolences to his family and loved ones. I am just glad he never got the opportunity to read some of the sick comments here concerning his demise.

But probably relatives or close friends may read this. Normally these insensitive posts are deleted.

I apologize for the Cretins on this forum who consider themselves part of the human race.

 

CSI: TVF has of course swung into action!

Man walks into road unaware, gets run over ? <deleted> article are you reading? 

 

The man was drunk and on a balcony and although this is poor judgment, it certainly doesn't rate a death sentence.

It was another example of poor judgement when UTI. the previous poster I quoted thought best to overlook the sobriety or lack of. sorry I mean you chose to overlook that little matter.

Well  there  are  some  non  Christians  that read  this  forum  and  in  Canada

we  can  no  longer  do  some  things  as it  is considered  offensive  to the non

Christian  parts  of  our  country.

Geezer

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... 

 

Quite often. Only the  major  international hotel chains offer consistent standards. For example, if one stays at a Hilton, there are  standards in respect to fire prevention such as smoke & heat detectors, sprinklers, water supply etc. that must be satisfied.   Before Hilton allows its name to go on a location, the inspection team will verify the property. If balconies are unsafe, it is noted.

 

Have a look at the  balcony of this hotel.  I would not have gone outside. Scary setup with flimsy looking railing.
