Pattaya —
A young man, traveling from Suphan Buri to attend the fireworks show in Pattaya, fell from the fifth floor of a hotel early on Saturday morning, November 25th. The victim, believed to have been intoxicated, survived the fall but sustained severe injuries, according to Pattaya police.
The incident occurred at around 6:45 AM at an unnamed hotel in the central Pattaya area near Beach Road, Nongprue sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province.
The victim, identified by Pattaya police as Mr. Kamalap Boonsong, 21, was found injured on the ground after falling from the balcony of his room on the 5th floor. He suffered severe injuries, including a head wound with profuse bleeding. Rescue personnel provided initial medical treatment before urgently transporting him to the hospital.
Upon questioning, Ms. Kittiya Sucharit, a 24-year-old friend of the injured person, explained to the police that she and Mr. Kamalap had come to Pattaya to attend the International Fireworks Festival. After spending time at a bar, they returned to their room at around 3:30 AM.
Ms. Kittiya mentioned that she and Mr. Kamalap were completely wasted from drinking and tired from the day’s activities. They then fell asleep; however, the incident occurred when Mr. Kamala woke up possibly to use the bathroom.
Ms. Kittiya recounted that she was awakened due to a loud noise resembling something colliding with a roof. When she checked, she found the roof below her balcony had broken, and Mr. Kamalap was nowhere to be found in the room. Concerned, she inquired with hotel staff and learned that her friend had fallen from the balcony.
The victim is recovering from his injuries at a local hospital at the time of reporting. Pattaya police are examining the scene, taking statements from witnesses, and reviewing CCTV footage to determine the exact circumstances leading to the incident. They reportedly suspect, however, that alcohol may have played a role in the fall.
