A German tourist, 21-year-old Manuel Marc Norbert, was critically injured after falling from a height at a luxury hotel on Pattaya Second Road during the night of August 14. The incident happened shortly after Norbert checked into his room on the third floor earlier that day. The fall was so severe that it broke through an awning on a lower floor.
Despite the seriousness of Norbert’s injuries, authorities did not find any signs of foul play at the scene. According to Panya Suelek, a 43-year-old security guard at the hotel, he initially heard noises that sounded like 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. Panya tried to persuade him to come back inside, but Norbert suddenly jumped, leading to his critical injuries.
Panya immediately alerted rescue workers, who provided initial first aid at the scene before rushing Norbert to the hospital for further treatment. Although the incident has raised concerns, investigations suggest that the fall was accidental.
