I think that I could hazard a guess.

My god, it is becoming an alarmingly regular occurrence at the moment.

I wonder why this one is being treated as suspicious...

A young guy. Very sad. RIP.

**Stinky** · 08-12-2009, 10:24 PM

This kind of death is becoming a daily occurrence in Pattaya now.

RIP Aussie dude

Does anyone have a total for this year? Unbelievable.

It is best to live on the 1st floor if you are a farang in Thailand.

**Spitfire** · 08-12-2009, 10:36 PM

These sort of stories, especially this one it seems, never really add up to me. What, a 29 year old goes to Pattaya for a shag fest holiday like so many others and ends up "falling" of a balcony in an hotel? I bet there are more so-called "suicides" in just Pattaya each year than there are in the whole of the UK in a year. Is it some sort of Mecca for people wanting to top themselves in style or in a blaze of glory? If not then the alternative is disturbing but the investigation is lackluster usually. Tell ya, agree with Chitown there, if you go to Pattaya then make sure you rent a room on/close to the ground floor or at a place like Sabia Lodge on soi 2. There are way too many of these "incidents" happening these days.

Hmmmm.........

**Muadib** · 08-12-2009, 10:55 PM

Drunk Aussie + low railings on balconies = another dead farang...

RIP... 29 is much too young to pass this mortal coil...

**chitown** · 08-12-2009, 11:01 PM

Do they have any basement rooms for rent in Pattaya?

I guess some upset Thais would carry you to the 25th floor and toss you over the side.

A life in Thailand seems to be worth less to Thais than it does in the rest of the world.

**dirtydog** · 08-12-2009, 11:21 PM

Low balconey railings would be the reason for quite a few, I know my balconey railings I could rest my dick on so they probably wouldn't be considered high enough in many countries.

**dirtydog** · 08-12-2009, 11:30 PM

I remember a few years ago, I was with the Thai police from the foriegn crime suppression unit, aint a big unit and only half a dozen Thai police, over 3 months there were 3 suicides of farangs all in the same way, plastic bag over the head and hands tied behind their backs all in the same condo unit, I mean ok 3 suicides in the same condo is believeable, but in the same way? So I said to them didn't they think it was a bit strange, you know if someone is going to committ suicide they will do but they will choose their own method, most of them looked at me blankly as they didn't understand the concept, then one of them realised what was most likely to be happening as his eyes lit up, they are still listed as suicides though

**Muadib** · 08-12-2009, 11:30 PM

Yep, when in Patters / Jomtien, I usually stay in a rented condo at VT 2A... Last visit I was on the 12th floor, went out on the balcony for a smoke and noticed the same thing... The top railing came up to the level of my groin... Very easy to lean on it the wrong way and over you go...

**Jesus Jones** · 08-12-2009, 11:38 PM

Are balconies lower in Pattaya than in Bangkok?

Were you one of those tourist volunteer cops?

**Loy Toy** · 09-12-2009, 01:47 AM

Massive bone breakages can bring on death due to internal bleading and bone marrow contamination.

So sad and so young! RIP.

Sir yes sir!!!

**dirtydog** · 09-12-2009, 01:59 AM

Hell when all that shite started they even offered me a letter to allow me to carry a gun, fuk that, I'd be dead or in jail now.

**dirtydog** · 09-12-2009, 02:06 AM

Remember, both colov and miller really have no understanding of the Thai language, they needed the jobs for their reporting, try to get one of them to do a news report using the Thai language on youtube.

**pet coon** · 09-12-2009, 04:35 AM

If they do not know what floor he fell from, was he even a registered guest at the hotel, visiting, or access to roof? May just be lack of info at press time but raise a few questions.

**nedwalk** · 09-12-2009, 04:55 AM

maybe he was just getting in the festive spirit and was hanging a little tinsel....

**the dogcatcher** · 09-12-2009, 05:00 AM

This happens about once a week in Mallorca, especially Magalluf. No suprise for me.

Best bet is to live in a house in the middle of a jungle, they might try and throw you from a high tree though

**Davis Knowlton** · 09-12-2009, 09:21 AM

That's it. No more going out on the balcony for a smoke. Ever.
