A Dutch tourist has fallen to his death from a condo room of a ladyboy he had just met at a drinking party on Khao San Road, Bangkok early this morning.

The tourist has been identified by his driving licence as 21 year old Salmans Rik W F.

Police say he fell from the room of 37 year old Pimornpat Koratana on the fifth floor of the Ivy Residence Pinklao on Somdej Pinklao Road in Bang Plad around 3.30am this morning.

Police said there didn’t appear to be any sign of foul play in the room.

Pimornpat said he met the tourist while drinking with friends at a party on Khao San Road just a few hours before the incident and the Dutchman followed him to his room. Pimornpat said when they arrived at his room, he went into the toilet for a few minutes.

When he came out, he found the balcony door open and the foreigner missing. When he looked out, he saw the body of the Dutchman lying on the ground.

Pimornpat said the tourist appeared to be very drunk.
