Two Students Fall From Sixth-Floor School Building in Bangkok

At 4:00 p.m. on August 3, 2025, Deputy Investigation Officer Phuritsada Phangsong of Sai Yai Police Station received a report that two students had fallen from a school building and sustained serious injuries. The incident occurred at a well-known school in the Sai Yai area, Bangkok. Police Captain Nathachapon Kiram, commander of Sai Yai Police Station, rushed to the scene with medical personnel and rescue teams from Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, CGH Sai Yai Hospital, the Sai Yai Civil Defense Volunteers, and the Por Teck Tung Foundation.

At the front of the six-story school building, rescue workers found two injured students lying on the ground in critical condition with labored breathing. The male student was 15 years old and the female student was 16 years old; both were Grade 10 classmates wearing school uniforms. Rescue personnel immediately performed CPR and rushed the male student to CGH Sai Yai Hospital and the female student to Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital.

At the scene on the sixth-floor balcony where the incident occurred, officers found a pair of male and female school shoes neatly placed together and documented them as evidence. Witness investigation revealed that the two students were in a romantic relationship. During the period after classes ended, they walked together to the sixth-floor balcony, removed their shoes and placed them together, embraced, and then decided to jump. Fortunately, their bodies struck the branches of a large tree and an awning of the building before hitting the ground, which reduced the impact force somewhat. Though both remained alive, they sustained serious injuries.

Police initially suspect the cause may stem from personal relationship problems or academic stress. However, investigators from Sai Yai Police Station are continuing to interview homeroom teachers, instructors, close friends, and the parents of both students in detail to determine the true cause and motive for the incident.
