Policemen seen in the Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel, where at least six people were reported dead, in Bangkok on July 16. BANGKOK – Six people were found dead at an upmarket hotel in Bangkok on July 16, the Thai government said, as Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin ordered a swift investigation to stem any damage to the tourism sector.
“From the preliminary examination of the scene, it was assumed that they had been poisoned,” said Major-General Theeradej Thumsuthee, chief investigator of the Metropolitan Police Bureau. Lieutenant-General Thiti Saengsawang, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, said in a news briefing that based on preliminary findings, “all of them were killed by other people”.
The incident, which took place at Bangkok’s plush Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel, comes as Thailand looks to further promote its tourism sector, a key driver of South-east Asia’s second-largest economy.
