A 22-year-old Chinese tourist fell to his death from the 21st floor of a hotel located on Pattaya Second Road in central Pattaya early morning on 15 June.

 

At approximately 08:05, Pol. Lt. Col. Suchart Dusadee of Pattaya City Police Station received a report of a fatal fall from height. Upon being notified, he informed Pattaya Police Chief Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu and promptly dispatched a team of investigators along with volunteers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation to the scene.

 

The victim was discovered lying on the road in a pool of blood at the side of the hotel, having suffered fatal injuries consistent with a high fall. The body was immediately covered with a white sheet, and the area was cordoned off to prevent unauthorised access.

 

Initial investigations revealed that the tourist had been staying alone in a room 2107, on the 21st floor. There were no signs of a struggle or theft and nothing inside the room appeared to have been disturbed.

A security guard on duty at the time reported hearing a loud impact before rushing to investigate, where he found the lifeless body. He immediately alerted the authorities.

 

According to Pol. Sub-Lt. Sakkayapat Chaidet, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya Police, CCTV footage from the hotel, showed the man leaving his room and speaking to hotel staff to ask for the location of a convenience store. He then returned to the 21st floor alone. Moments later, he had fallen from the building.

 

The body has been sent to the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bangkok for a full autopsy. Authorities have contacted the Chinese consulate and are awaiting relatives to provide documentation to claim the body.

 

Police are continuing their investigation but currently believe there was no signs of foul play involved.
