    Australian jumps from Surin hotel

    Australian jumps from Surin hotel

    An Australian man was seriously injured on Tuesday after jumping off a hotel balcony in downtown Surin in Northeast Thailand.

    Anthony J Scarrabelotti survived the fall from the hotel balcony and was taken to Surin General Hospital with serious injuries, Pol Lt Col Prakit Luangvisai, deputy inspector of the Surin police station, said.

    Mr Scarrabelotti, 45, is from Victoria state in Australia, according to his driver's licence found on a sixth floor balcony of the building.

    Investigators also found his wallet, shoes and cigarette butts on the balcony, the officer added.

    A housemaid told the police the Australian was not a hotel guest. She saw him knocking on doors of rooms on the floor searching for his girlfriend.

    He was later seen smoking and using a mobile phone on the floor balcony, she said.

    Mr Scarrabelotti looked angry after apparently quarreling with someone on the phone, and then jumped off the balcony before she could help him, the housekeeper said.

    Police found his cell phone, which had fallen on to the roof of the hotel restaurant, and called the last number he had dialled, but no one answered.

    Police suspected that it was the number of the girlfriend he was looking for.

    I still think these balcony divers is just a form of Darwinism. Those not mentally tough enough to deal with dating a Thai girl just go into auto and jump from high places.

    There is a need for the Samaritans in LOS. A number you can call when some bloke called Trev pick up and says "Tell ya what pal, let's go and have a pint and a chin wag" and takes the heat out of the situation.

    Would be a great idea for these idiotic mentally shallow farangs.

    BUT.. imagine The Samaritans in Thailand, you call up and before you speak to anyone you've first been bombarded with sponsors ads for skin whitening products, M150 and Nescafe 3 in 1 and more...

    Alarm bells ring in my mind when a farang tells me his 'GF' is from Surin, Kalasin or Buriram.

    Indeed.
    Some of us are quite aware of the Surin groupies.
    I'm just sorry it wasn't anyone we knew.

    Cheers!!

    Seems Aussies are into balcony diving.Been a hell of a lot of them in Phuket lately.
    Must of heard it's going to be in the Olympics next time.
    Amazingly most of them survive.

    Makes you wonder what goes through these people's minds.

    Apart from their rib cage of course.

    If I was gonna jump off a balcony in Thailand I'd strap a parachute on and when they find my body it'll just look like a base jump gone wrong.

    That'll pull the wool over your eyes and I wouldn't get posthumously slagged off on here.

    Time for some health and safety law. All balconies should be fitted with safety bars.If this was children falling to their deaths then automatically saviour bars would be errected.

    Indo men? Careful Willy, they're very intolerant of that sort of thing down there.

    Wonder if it was from a balcony at the Tong Tarin Hotel there in downtown Surin? That's the only hotel that comes to mind that's tall enough to take a dive from.

    Lovely Beer Garden there.
