According to the Thai government, a five-month investigation aided by the World Health Organization into the deaths of a U.S. woman and four other tourists who all stayed in hotels in northern Thailand suggested a link to toxic chemical exposure, but failed to determine exactly what killed them. They were staying in three different hotels in the popular city of Chiang Mai, and their deaths came in January and February. Thailand’s Department of Disease Control issued a report saying that it cannot be determined how the victims were exposed to the unknown toxins. The report also said that authorities are taking steps to reduce risks to travelers, including monitoring pesticide and chemical use in hotels.
