PATTAYA, Thailand – A foreign national found deceased in a hotel room on Pattaya Third Road on October 30. Local police and rescue teams responded to investigate.




At the scene, located on the fourth floor of the hotel in room 2412, authorities discovered the body of a 27-year-old Australian man (name withheld).

No signs of struggle were present in the room, but illegal substances, including ketamine and marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia, were discovered on the table. Police collected all items as evidence.

Following the discovery of a deceased tourist in Pattaya, authorities are questioning a friend who was found inebriated at the scene as they seek to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
