A pensioner from Northern Ireland, Bearach Beataidh, has been arrested in connection with the death of a Thai escort, Duangta Khampongsom, whose body was found in his hotel room in Pattaya. Police have indicated that the woman had been dead for at least three days before being discovered.
Discovery of the Body
The tragic incident unfolded when the manager of the guest house, Prayoon Chinsai, noticed a foul odor coming from the room where Ms. Khampongsom was staying. After several attempts to contact the occupants went unanswered, he used a master key to enter the room, only to find the woman’s decomposing body on the bed.
Arrest and Denial of Wrongdoing
Following the discovery, police swiftly located Beataidh at a nearby bar. Despite being caught on CCTV footage entering the room with the victim and leaving alone days later, Beataidh denied any involvement in her death.

The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has also issued a statement, expressing readiness to provide consular assistance in the matter.
