A German man fell to his death from a luxury hotel in Pattaya on Wednesday night. This is the fourth such incident involving a person falling to their death in Pattaya this month.

Rescue workers were alerted about the incident at a five-star hotel along Pattaya beach about 10pm.

Police and rescue workers arrived at the scene and found a crowd of onlookers. Staff at a nearby shopping mall had put up barriers to cordon off the area.

The body of the 57-year-old tourist was lying on the ground. A white tent was used to cover the body.

The man had been staying on the 33rd floor of the hotel. Officers inspected his room and found no signs of a struggle, finding only allergy medication.

Witnesses told police that they saw the man falling from the room. His body hit a plant pot in front of the mall entrance, shocking onlookers.

The German was the fourth person to fall to their death in Pattaya this month.

Previous incidents include a 23-year-old Thai man who fell from a hotel on June 1, a 38-year-old Russian man who fell from a condominium on June 3, and an American man, 43, who fell from a hotel balcony on June 4.
