Man in Thai hospital after falling from hotel balcony needs £250,000 to get home

A man has been left trapped in Thailand with serious injuries after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony and fracturing his pelvis. Kieran now needs up to £250,000 to fly back to the UK for surgery. Shauna and her boyfriend Kieran, 23, were 10 days into a three-week holiday in Thailand when Kieran, a personal trainer, fell from the balcony.

He suffered serious internal bleeding and has undergone surgery in a Thai hospital, but now needs to be flown back to the UK for further treatment. Shauna says they have yet to receive any money from their insurance company.

She told YorkshireLive: "After the traumatic accident, we had to get a speedboat from Phi Phi to Phuket so he could receive a lifesaving operation at Bangkok Phuket Hospital to stop the internal bleeding and stabilise his pelvis.
