An Australian tourist has plunged to his death from a high-rise balcony in Thailand just an hour after checking into his hotel, local authorities have confirmed.
Police and paramedics were called to View Talay 6 in central Pattaya on Monday after the grim discovery of a man’s body, 40, found sprawled in the parking lot with severe injuries from the suspected fall.
He was unable to be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say the Adelaide man had checked into his room on the 17th floor of the hotel shortly before 7am, with his body found an hour later.
He had suffered broken limbs and a ruptured stomach wound.

Police are investigating but aren’t treating the man’s death as suspicious.
An examination of the man’s room and belongings revealed no signs of a struggle, Newsflare reported.
‘Searching inside his room, there was the deceased’s passport and one suitcase inside the room,’ Pattaya City Police Station Deputy Inspector General Amornthep Petchtim said.
Authorities have informed the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, where consular staff will contact the man’s relatives.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for comment.
View Talay 6 is a three-star hotel located in the heart of the city on Thailand’s east coast and metres away from Central Pattaya Beach.
The latest tragedy comes just weeks after another Australian tourist Joshua James Connell, 19, died after he fell 15metres from his hotel’s pool deck in Phuket in June.
