Pattaya —
A Chinese man drank himself into a furious state and threatened to jump off an eighth-floor balcony following an argument with his wife in Pattaya.
Pattaya Police received a report of a foreign man trying to take his own life at 6 PM yesterday, May 31st, and rushed to the scene of the incident at Central Pattaya in Banglamung district, Chonburi province, with Sawang Boriboon rescuers and Tourist Police.
The authorities arrived at an unnamed hotel in Central Pattaya to find the tourist only identified by his first name as Mr. Limingming of Chinese nationality. The man in his 22nd year was in an intoxicated state, having climbed out of his eighth-floor balcony and clinched to the railing, threatening to leap.
The man shouted incoherently to the police and rescuers who tried to help him. After an unsuccessful negotiation, the officials decided to charge the man while he was unaware and brought him back into safety on the balcony. Mr. Limingming was then transported to a nearby medical facility. He suffered no injuries, according to rescuers.
The Pattaya News interviewed his tour guide about the cause of the incident. The guide said the tourist arrived with his wife in Pattaya four days ago. Prior to the incident, the man had a heated argument with his wife before deciding to drink himself into a stupor and threatening to take his own life. Luckily, somebody noticed him before he jumped and called the authorities.
The tourist was under close medical attention.
