Australian found dead in Bangkok hotel

AN Australian and a Canadian tourist have been found dead in a Bangkok hotel after a suspected drug overdose, Thai tourist police say.

A maid found the bodies of the two men, who are believed to be aged 27 and 31 years old respectively, slumped in a room in the Park Plaza, a hotel in one of main the tourist drags of the Thai capital.

Their bodies were found late on Thursday alongside an unknown white powder and drug-taking paraphernalia.

"At the initial autopsy the forensic doctor said they died from a drug overdose," the tourist policeman, who wanted to remain anonymous, told AFP on Friday, adding tests will be carried out on the powder.

Thailand's reputation as a tourist paradise has been tarnished recently after the deaths of several holidaymakers including two Canadian sisters on the resort island of Phi Phi in a suspected poisoning case in June.

Australian woman Michelle Smith, 60, from Perth, died on June 20 during an attempted robbery on the Thai resort island of Phuket. Two Thai men have been sentenced to life in prison for her murder.

In August, a British and a French tourist died in a nightclub blaze on Phuket island in another blow to Thailand's image - already tarnished over recent years by deadly political unrest, devastating floods, and concerns about violent crimes against foreigners.
