Foreign Woman Dies After Fall From Condo in Ekkamai

Featured Replies

A foreign woman has died after falling from a condominium in the Ekkamai area of Bangkok on 25 April 2026, with police investigating the circumstances and a mysterious message found at the scene. Officers from Khlong Tan Police Station were alerted to the incident at 13:50 and attended alongside rescue workers and a forensic doctor from Chulalongkorn Hospital. The woman was found deceased on the 9th floor balcony area after falling from her room on the 11th floor.

According to initial findings, the victim, whose nationality has not yet been confirmed, had been staying in room 11/143 on the 11th floor. Her foreign boyfriend, who was present in the room, told police she had locked herself alone in the bedroom prior to the incident. He said he tried to enter but could not open the door and later learned she had fallen from the balcony.

The boyfriend also stated that the woman had been suffering from depression and was taking medication to manage her condition. Investigators have not ruled out any possibilities and are examining all available evidence. Authorities are working to determine whether the fall was accidental or intentional.

During a search of the room, officers discovered a handwritten message in English on the bed reading: “Dont freak out I only look 3 Hydroxyzine it’ll just knock me out for a few hours”. The message has been documented and collected as evidence, with officials seeking to establish whether it is connected to the woman’s mental health or the medication she was taking.

Thaitabloid reported that police have transferred the body to the forensic institute at Chulalongkorn Hospital for a detailed autopsy. Further questioning of the boyfriend and any additional witnesses will be carried out as part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities have emphasised that no conclusions have yet been reached.

Can´t be so many accidents! They simply come to Thailand to end it. Wish they could keep the suicides in their home countries.

Yet another fatal balcony incident.

Whether it’s accidents, structural issues, or other circumstances, the pattern just keeps repeating.

Maybe it is time Thailand introduced a national register of balcony and high‑rise incidents.

At the very least, proper reporting and data collection would help identify why there seem to be so many.

Without it, these cases continue to make the news, then just fade from memory until the next one happens.

I don't blame the balcony 100% for this one.

Although a safer balcony would have prevented death, I blame the anti-depressant drug she was taking. Those drugs seem evil to me and don't work and give a false sense of security. The family should consider suing the drug company.

You don´t need that! It´s not a possibility that this can be caused of too low railings. It´s clearly out of the willingness to choose Thailand as a great destination for suicides.
