AUSTRALIAN authorities have confirmed a NSW man has been found dead in Bangkok, amid reports he died of a drug overdose along with a Canadian man found in the same hotel room.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said in a statement that she was aware that a 27-year-old man from NSW had died in the Thai capital.
However, she was not able to say whether the death was the result of an overdose.
The spokeswoman said she was also aware of reports that a Canadian citizen was found dead at the same location.
She said she could not speculate about the cause of death of the Australian, or confirm that he was a tourist.
On Friday night, Thai tourist police said an Australian and a Canadian tourist had been found dead in a Bangkok hotel after a suspected drug overdose.
A maid is understood to have 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 the main tourist streets of the Thai capital.
Their bodies were found late on Thursday alongside an unknown white powder and drug-taking paraphernalia.
Tourist police reportedly said that at an initial autopsy a forensic doctor said the men died from a drug overdose, and that tests were expected to 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.
Thailand's tourism image has also suffered over recent years through deadly political unrest, devastating floods and concerns about violent crimes against foreigners.
