Why doe everyone come to this country to off themselves?

A lot of them are in very heavy debt with powers that be locally and due to huge loans back home. Not the first one and not the last.

Posts which offered no value have been removed.  

I would like to see a comparison of suicides in other Asean countries?

RIP Korean man.

 

Thailand for many people represents an escape from reality, or a chance to start over.

 

Unfortunately many people are at the end of their rope when they arrive there. (no pun intended)

" Near Mr Yoon's body there were a white chair and a spilled bucket of paint, which police suspect were used in the alleged suicide. "

 Well, there you have it. He truly "kicked the bucket"

He was painting and than decided to hang

himself??  Rather unbelievable.

South Korea usually ranks in the top 3.

Thailand around 50 something typically.

Likely bad business back in Korea, or marriage problems as well.  Thailand was the last stop.

  Seen this scene many times in many places, not just Thailand. People head to the tropics, or

somewhere nice, for their last days.  I watched some cliff jumping as well, just not ging to say where.
