A New Zealand tourist has died at an island resort in Thailand after breaking his neck in a fall from a hillside beer bar.
The body of Karl Gavin Francis, 34, of Wellington, was found yesterday morning below the bar, on Koh Samet Island, 150km southeast of Bangkok.
Police said it was a 3-4m fall from the bar's platform to the ground and they consider the death an accident.
A man who worked at the bar told police he had seen Mr Francis sleeping soundly on the platform, in what appeared to be a drunken stupor.
