dddave Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Today, my GF pointed out a story in a Thai newspaper reporting the suicide of a 35 year old Englishman on Thong Lo soi 22. The article stated he was employed by WORLD VISION but had no other information. Is anybody familiar with this story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Did that use to be the Scenic Impaler or is that another Hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 She is different. He sent his "faen" an email about a "personal matter" and told her he was going to kill himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Apparently hanged himself in Room 1110 of the Imperial Tara Hotel on Sukhumwit Soi 26. Probably a little too much information given out by the media - exactly how many guests do they think will take room 1110 at that hotel for next 6 or so months ? Given the number of old coots who have reportedly carked it at Nana Hotel (according to various posts here over the years), I expect that I have put my head down in a room where someone has died, but thats different to knowing that a recent guest topped himself. I guess I've read too much Stephen King, but your mind does funny things when you wake at 3am in a strange room, with inhuman moaning emanating from the room next door. Then again, the Nana features inhuman moaning at 3pm on occasion. :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Back in my Peace Corps days, a friend got a nice price on a rented house in Bangkok. Turned out someone had hanged themself in one of the bedrooms and no Thai would go near the place. It was then rented to a Japanese couple, who shortly after were killed in a car crash. Of course, he wasn't told that until some time later. I visited him once ... and he put me up in that room! (Of course, without telling ME until afterwards either. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
