Deaths of Tourists

The point surely is (from the Fathers behalf) is that a number of people died in this hotel without there being a post mortem resolution to what was the cause. Dad should be commended for trying to force some answers out of a system that seems either poorly equiped, corrupt or just apathetic.

On the subject of people falling off balconies. I know of 2 people who did, and survived. Both were drunk at the time. One is now in a wheel chair.

 

Also most balconies in condos seem to be lower than you would normally find back at home. I guess because they are designed with Thai's in mind not us taller falangs.

 

Mix the 2 together (booze and a low balcony railing) and you've got a problem.

I totally agree with you about the balcony hight as well as the booze issue. I would love to be able to ask the following question.

 

How many people who fell off balconies were smokers?

 

When I get back to the unit pissed at 3.00am I never use the balcony because I dont need to go out there. I would think that this is the riskiest time of day for accidents.
