At 3.30am, rescuers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation in Pattaya were called to a venue on Walking Street, after reports that a foreign tourist had lost consciousness. Medical staff from Pattaya City Hospital were also dispatched to the scene.
Rescue workers found the man lying unconscious on the floor. He was wearing long jeans trousers and no shirt, and had a head injury. Special affairs officers from Pattaya City were performing CPR in an attempt to revive him while other tourists looked on, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told police the tourist had arrived at the venue with a group of friends and appeared to be behaving normally earlier in the evening. Before the incident, he reportedly sat resting at a table for a short period.
Friends later attempted to wake him to leave the venue, but he did not respond. Staff members were alerted and helped carry him downstairs to wait for emergency services before rescue workers began attempts to save his life. Police from Pattaya City Police Station inspected the scene and recorded evidence. Officers have not yet confirmed the cause of death.
Authorities said the body would be sent for a post-mortem examination to determine whether the man died from an underlying medical condition or from injuries caused by a fall and impact to the head. Investigators are continuing enquiries in line with legal procedures.
The incident caused alarm among tourists and staff in the busy nightlife district, which attracts large numbers of visitors each night. No further details about the victim’s identity were released. Officials are expected to await the results of the autopsy before confirming the exact circumstances surrounding the death. Police have not announced whether any additional witnesses will be questioned.
