I think your overly generous as it's maybe not such a good result, at days end but... points for effort... maybe with more practice they might get it right. I don't think it's fair to blame the outcome on their efforts. We weren't there when he jumped, so hard to say why he missed the giant whoopee cushion.

A1Str8 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Should have just jumped without hurting the woman. Loser

Jiggo Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Why not report your Passport stolen or lost to the Tourist Police, then go to the Embassy for a replacement or travel docs.

Apparently, you have never been shot or stabbed by a woman. Chivalry is fine, if the lady acts like a lady; if someone confronts me and threatens me with bodily harm; it makes no difference their gender, I lose my gentlemanly ways real quickly.
sirithira Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Another news lost in the past in the coming days... sad story and again we'll never hear about the TRUTH... just comments... at the end of the day it's a lost life... RIP...

I will show the original but won't let it out of my hands. If that's not sufficient I go somewhere else. You do the same as I. But, in tourist places, such as Phuket, its virtually imposable to rent a motor bike without giving them your passport... and most places will not accepts photo copies. I think this should be the governments new 'crack down'.

I had to surrender my passport at last visit for motorcycle hire and hotel accommodation, but if you refuse, you get nothing, so what the solution to this dilemma ???

Obviously he owed a lot of money to someone. Another dodgy farang so called real estate developer over here. No sympathy from me. Next. I have to agree that no one can force you to hand over your passport except for your own government but if it was trickery then that's another matter altogether. I don't know enough details to pass judgement but does anything that has to do with business really worth dying over? Reports say he was agitated. Was he drinking heavily or under the influence of drugs? That's the problem when your depressed and turn to such means of dealing with problems that often don't end up well because your judgement is clouded. I know ThaiVisa is full of seasoned cynics but a lot of comments r just plain cold as we really don't know what led up to this except that a guy is dead.

You can own a house - you cannot own the land.

Not funny topic but :: 1/Thought police, is not my friend, and 2/ It's a way to stress the fact that the help was inefficient. Have you asked yourself why they were here and could not save him when he fell? There may be several reasons to this, inaccessibility to the place he fell or other. But fact.
hottrader77 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 keep your hard hats on boys as many foreigners are trying to fly from the 20th floor of many buildings and always look up if out side a tall building you dont know whats going to land on you !
