Henrywillow Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 A solution to falling off balconeys when having said jimmy is to sit down, has many advantages 1) you do not have to be awake, no requirement to open your eyes apart from the journey to the loo. 2) If you fall , not so far to reach the floor 3) Have many place's to lean against 4 ) You do not have to worry about leaving the seat up for your lady... Finally you do not have to move , can stay there until the next urge to pee . I have been a sailor most of my life and like many other sailors find it much easier to sit down when at sea, a habit which I have continued when on land. RIP poor guy.

fxe1200 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Accidents like that will keep on happening. The balcony lattices in Thailand are way too low. The one on my terrace is 66cm high. In Germany 90 cm is standard for heights up to 12m, 110cm for heights of more than 12m measured from the balcony floor. I wonder when Thailand will do something about this issue, considering their everlasting "mai pen rai" attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed at this place for a long time and the toilet / shower is next to the door that opens to a small balcony. I never had the urge to pee over it, there was usually people below as the car park is there. When people are drunk they do strange things, very strange , I think people pee themselves just before they die. The only exit from the rooms is by going down the stairs and out the front doors of the guest house, it has CCTV coverage of the stairs and the lobby. I wonder if someone left around the time of the event??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFLKrabi Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Unlike most of the super sleuths, I find this rather sad. Took a piss by mistake (or not) on the balcony, slipped on the wet tiles and fell to his death. RIP sir. Sad story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, RIP sir, <removed> I agree 100% Not just respect for the deceased but also for his friends and family he leaves behind. I suspect some of them will read this thread! Whatever the reason he was far too young, RIP and condolences to family and friends. There but for the grace of God.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed there a few years ago when it was new, it was very bright and clean and they changed the linen every day, it was a very clean and nice bright big room with a nice toilet and shower and air. I did not find it uninviting it was quite laid back, I stayed there for one year. I don't know why if this man stayed there for a long time that he would not use the toilet which is next to the door that opens to a very small balcony. What ever happened there is a possibility of foul play, I hope the police reviewed the CCTV, the place used to be very well managed and friendly nice management. Very sad RIP.

TKDfella Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Very sad. Condolences to friends and or family. One thing puzzles me though. The guard her a thump which means that he didn't hear a shout or scream beforehand. Was this chap unconscious before falling I wonder. Not suggesting foul play but posters here who have knowledge of the 'demon drink' (I am TT) might give reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be just over my knees. Even 90 cm is lower than ANY balcony I've seen in Thailand or indeed anywhere in the world. 120 cm is the standard height I've seen in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
