Pattaya suicide attempt: Thai man makes the jump after arguing with girlfriend

A 30 year old Thai man attempted to take his own life yesterday when he jumped from the second floor of a condominium in Pattaya.

The Thai man, whose name is being withheld to protect his privacy, leapt after a disagreement with his girlfriend. The incident occurred at 6am at a residential complex in the Nongprue sub-district of Banglamung district, Chon Buri province.

Pattaya Police, upon receiving the report, immediately collaborated with the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan rescue team and rushed to the location. On arrival, rescuers found the Thai man lying on the ground adjacent to the condominium.

It was reported that the man had minor injuries on his back, hips, and ankles. Subsequently, the Thai man was transported to a local hospital for appropriate medical attention.

According to the information gathered from the man’s girlfriend during a police interview, the incident was triggered by a disagreement over the man’s request to hang out with his friends, which his girlfriend did not approve of.

In response to this, the Thai man, in a fit of anger, proceeded to the balcony of their second-floor apartment and jumped. His injuries are a direct result of this action.

Multiple eyewitnesses at the scene corroborated the girlfriend’s account, confirming that the Thai man jumped of his own accord. As of the time of filing this report, the Thai man remains in the hospital, receiving treatment for his injuries, reported Pattaya News.
