Bangkok, Thailand – A German tourist was seriously injured when he fell from a great height at a luxury hotel on Pattaya Second Road on the night of August 14. The incident occurred shortly after the tourist, identified as 21-year-old Manuel Marc Norbert, had checked into his third-floor room earlier that day. The force of the fall caused significant damage, breaking through a canopy on a lower floor. Despite the severity of Norbert’s injuries, authorities found no signs of foul play at the scene of the accident.

Panya Suelek, a 43-year-old security guard at the hotel, said he heard sounds reminiscent of metal banging or construction work before the incident. When he went to investigate, he found Norbert sitting on the edge of the awning on the third floor. Despite Panya’s efforts to persuade him to come back inside, Norbert suddenly jumped up, suffering life-threatening injuries.

Panya immediately alerted emergency services, who administered first aid on the scene and took Norbert to hospital for further treatment. The incident has caused concern, but investigations indicate that the fall was accidental.
