BANGKOK — Thai police are searching for a Singaporean man suspected in the murder of his Thai girlfriend from Khon Kaen province. The victim’s body was discovered in a hotel room in downtown Bangkok.
Thonglor Police Station officers received a report of a murdered woman found in a 50-story hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 39, Watthana District, Bangkok at 6:20 p.m. on March 26. The deceased was later identified as Prao-Pilas, age 30, from Khon Kaen province.
Investigators, alongside forensic doctors from Chulalongkorn Hospital, forensic evidence officials, and Po Tek Tung Foundation volunteers, found her body in the bathroom of the hotel room. The body was wrapped in two layers – a blanket and bed sheet – and was unclothed, with visible wounds and blood on the head.

Police interviewed Ms. Suthida Lueamsai, 31, from Khon Kaen, who first discovered the body, and Ms. Emwika Makthi, 34, from Mahasarakham, who reported the incident. The two friends stated they had been unable to contact Prao-Pilas since Monday evening, March 24.
Emwika filed a report on March 26 at Thonglor Police Station and brought the daily record to building management to check the room. Upon arrival, they found the door unlocked, the air conditioner running, and the victim’s body in the bathroom.
A picture of Thai woman Prao-Pilas and her Singaporean boyfriend shared on Instagram portrayed a loving relationship between them.
Ms. Suthida revealed that Prao-Pilas had been dating a 32-year-old Singaporean man named Daniel. Although their Instagram photos portrayed a loving relationship, Prao-Pilas had told friends that she frequently argued with her boyfriend and was regularly physically abused by him.
Hotel CCTV footage showed the following timeline: On March 23 at approximately 6:42 p.m., elevator footage captured Daniel and Prao-Pilas leaving the room together. Later at around 9:17 p.m., Daniel escorted his Thai girlfriend to the elevator to return to the room.
On March 24 at approximately 12:12 a.m. footage showed Daniel returning to the elevator to go up to the room. On March 25 at approximately 3:15 p.m., Daniel left the room carrying luggage, then exited the building with his belongings and departed in a black Mercedes-Benz.
Investigators from Thonglor Police Station are currently reviewing additional CCTV footage around the scene to track down the suspect boyfriend for questioning.
