BANGKOK, July 17 — Six people were found dead at an upmarket hotel in Bangkok last night, including at least one American national of Vietnamese descent, the Thai government said, as the prime minister ordered a swift investigation to stem any damage to the tourism sector.
The Thai police said in a separate statement that the six people were all foreign nationals.
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 Southeast Asia’s second largest economy.
“The prime minister has ordered all agencies to urgently take action to avoid impact on tourism,” the Thai government said in its statement.
A police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, dismissed earlier reports in Thai media that the six people had been killed in a shooting.
“There is no sign of a shooting,” the official told Reuters, adding that there were Vietnamese nationals among the dead. The official did not elaborate further.
The US and Vietnamese embassies in Bangkok did not respond to calls from Reuters.
Police officers found the bodies of six deceased foreign nationals at the Grand Hyatt Erawan after receiving a call from the hotel’s staff at around 5.30pm reporting that there had been deaths, the Thai police said in its statement.
Police and medical services could not immediately be reached for further comment.
