Wiggy Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Suicides are the last desperate act to end what that person considers is worth ending. They see no other way out. We often never know the real reason, just that they were 'depressed'. It goes beyond depression as that person sees no value or worth in their existence, as sad as that seems. It's final, ultimate and tragic, and it's extremely unlikely that just at the time of the event that person is thinking rationally as to where they might land or on whom. At their very lowest ebb, all that's in their mind is ending it, here and now. Selfish? Some say so. But we can't really know until we've been there.

The exchange rate is absolutely shocking right now, the lowest it's ever been in the past 6 years. But it wasn't bad about 2 years ago or so, that's when things went down and down. Anyway, if someone has money issues, it's time to book a plane ticket back to their home country and stay there for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Poor guy. Fancy being that desperate. Unfortunately no consideration for the weaknesses of his messy exit. Money? Health? Loneliness? Lost love? One book of Thai holiday memories I read described the departure Lounge of a Bangkok International Airport as the saddest place in the world. Perhaps he didn't want to there.

According to the Thai people I have discussed this with, there is an obvious possible answer to this question which may explain why he didn't have his passport on him. Possibly not in this case, but apparently many ambulance drivers or other First Responders just help themselves. Yet one more reason not to wander around with a real Rolex watch, a pocket full of cash and a neck full of gold in this land of smiles. But perhaps he was just so distracted by his unhappiness that he was not thinking about such things. There but for the grace of.....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? I've seen many Thai people in Pattaya walking around flashing their gold on themselves. One Thai dude was with his wife and daughter eating at a restaurant at Central Festival with a big gold necklace, gold bracelet, gold ring and a gold watch. He wasn't scared of getting robbed.

TKDfella Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I haven't been to the venue but from the picture it looks similar to the Central Plaza no far from me. Very sad and 50 years young too. I cannot imagine what the world looks like to this type of person, dark and no hope. My condolences to any family he leaves behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so easy to climb over the low barriers and none of the hassle of trying to get up to the roof. Not another "the barriers are too low" comment. I'm 6' 1" and have never in the 10+ years I've lived here seen a balcony or shopping mall barrier that was low enough to accidentally fall over, unless you really really did something stupid like lean over trying to look at what was on the floor beneath you or something. Of course you can climb over them, but you can do that on barriers all over the world. But just standing next to one and then toppling over because 'they are too low' is ludicrous, unless the person is freakishly tall and leaning too far over.
