webfact Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Man injured in fall from Chiang Mai’s old wall By The Nation CHIANG MAI: -- An unidentified Asian believed to be a foreign tourist was severely injured falling off the historic wall remnant at Tha Phae Gate in downtown Chiang Mai late Tuesday night, police said. Passers-by noticed the man lying unconscious on the north-side sidewalk at the foot of the two-metre-high wall just after midnight. Police and rescuers took the man to Chiang Mai Hospital. He was carrying no identification documents. Residents said they had seen a man walking along the footpath atop the wall in violation of a municipal order temporarily prohibiting such activity after a rainfall because the path can be dangerous when slippery. A warning sign appears on the stairs leading to the top.

PETERTHEEATER Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 'A warning sign appears on the stairs leading to the top.' Only a warning sign yet it is prohibited to walk the path after rain? Something wrong here. You would have to be unlucky not to survive a two metre drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChakaKhan Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I notice THAIS on the "sacred walls" at the northwest corner taking hiso shots of thai girls dressed lanna style in evening--ignoring the signs demonizing the tourists to keep off. Also see the chinese climbing on TP gate walls during the day--they just seem oblivious to life.. Anyhoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
