Australian man, 49, jumps from eighteenth floor of Sathorn hotel

Featured Replies

High rise buildings should start to take 10 000 Baht from foreigners as a deposit when they enter the building. If they don't jump, they get it back when they leave.

Just the one?

There are so many suicides that the thai authorities should announce a dedicated area like the top floor of a failed condo project.. At least the ugly mess isn't going to haunt by standers. They could even charge 500 baht for the privilege.

Do they really have to be pointing? And who's the jerks with iPhones in the foreground snapping pics? No respect for the dead. Utterly pathetic.

If you look closer, there are three yahoos taking phone pics.

Does anyone really think the dream exists in Bangkok ? Its just another dirty polluted city.

You're assuming lots of things here. The person pointing likely belongs to the coroner's office, so too the guy with the phone probably recording the scene on video. Do you know what they're talking about? No. Are they just taking happy snaps to show their mates down the pub tonight? No. They're cops or whatever doing their jobs, you know? The very thing many posters to this site often criticize them for not doing. No respect for the dead? You should see what happens to the body when they do an autopsy.  RIP Mr Finn.

And your not???

I am happy to report I have no problem getting it up. After living in Bangkok for 18 months I also know it is not a dream lifestyle.

If hanging around with young bar girls is all you need to make you happy then say no more.

I actually use to enjoy fishing back home... Once you bought the bait
, the hooks and sinkers or lures and fuel to get to the ocean it cost around a 1000 baht.
Now I fish here, same same but different [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

The dead man was clothed, without shoes and  wearing eye shades used for sleeping.

 

Maybe Thechook was referring to this part of the article. Presuming that maybe he was sleep walking and this was maybe the reason he fell.

Not when you leave a note, then maybe the note was just for a joke. 

Once the honeymoon period wears off Bangkok can become a very stressful place to live. RIP

One can always get a 120 baht bus to Pattaya for some "stress relief"

sleep writer too?

 

30 years ago, before I understood what sleep walking really was, I used to jump out of bed at 3:00 in the morning and run around cleaning my apartment as if someone was coming over.  I have no doubt I could have penned a letter on any one of those ridiculous (in hindsight) occasions.  

 

Look up all the stuff people have been arrested for doing while sleep walking under the influence of Ambien and the like.

 

It's possible he was sleep walking.  I have no idea what the odds were, but it's possible.

Agreed. Much easier to take a few sleeping pills, have a few drinks and go for a swim in the pool

As sad as it is and as easy as it is to exit life for some, I fail to understand how people can devalue their only life, sure life has its challengers with its ups and downs, but we all have to keep swimming no matter what, 49 is far to young, I believe people contemplating suicide should talk to friends, family, or seek professional help, to try to relieve their suffering, because this is just a damn shame.   

There, but for he grace of God.......

?did you write a suicide note???

 

I could have.  Easily.  But that wasn't in my dream.  I just had someone coming over to visit.

 

My point is that sleep walking isn't always like you see in the cartoons.  Add an influence like Ambien and it can be tragic  Occasionally at no fault of the sleep walker.

RIP.

 

At least he left a note for his brother.

Many suicides here are not so clear.

 

What a horrible thing for the other hotel guests to see.

 

You can even see the high velocity blood splatter  on the wall in the right corner of photo!.....

 

Very gruesome.........would've of been quite upsetting for many!

Sorry just too many of these here far to many Do you know why?

 

Look close at each story and you will see

 

I could point to a recent UK event but cannot as we are talking about Thailand only

Edited by wakeupplease

Lots of assumptions here. Did he jump for instance? So many jumpers in Thailand when there are easier and less horrific ways to do it without jumping if you are so inclined. For the family and friends lets let the coroner decide.( Lots of people are pushed}

Because pretty most Thai women westerners get involved with are only in it for themselves (inc non bar girl), if that means taking everything these men have then pushing them to the edge then so be it.

And <deleted> is your point? 

Jerojero, Get over it, it is only a body now.

You wanna see how the Foundations chuck em into the pickup.

He has found peace now poor buggar. The demons have left him. He must have been going through some horrible thought processes, I wonder if he was terminally ill?
