A German national fell to his death from a hotel room in Pattaya late last night.
A hotel employee told Pattaya police that he saw a man fall from the hotel into plant pots in front of a shopping mall next to the hotel.
Police and EMTs rushed to the scene, but could not help the victim.
Police searched the room of the 57-year-old German, in an attempt to discover the cause of the fatal fall, but did not initially find any evidence which might suggest that the victim had been assaulted prior to his fall.
Forensic officers will, however, check the room and the scene more thoroughly.
