The bodies of six people were found Tuesday in a luxury hotel in downtown Bangkok and their deaths may have been caused by poisoning, police and officials said.
Bangkok police chief Lt. Gen. Thiti Sangsawang identified the dead as two Vietnamese Americans and four Vietnamese nationals, and said there were three males and three females. Investigators said the bodies were foaming at the mouth, an officer from the Lumpini police station said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release information.
The victims had booked several rooms at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel under seven names, and some were staying on a different floor from the room where they were found dead, Thiti said. Police are still looking for the seventh person included in the booking, Thiti said at a news conference at the hotel.
Why is this world news? Were the poisoned people notable?
4 Vietnamese nationals and 2 Vietnamese Americans are dead after 7 people checked into several rooms at a hotel in Thailand, with the seventh person now missing. Sounds pretty international news to me. So, I’d say it belongs?
It is news, newsworthy, and also Bangkok, Thailand is certainly part of the world. ✔️
But you are only allowed to report things that seem important to Americans in any community that might be visited by Americans. Come on, everybody knows that.

Wait, wait, wait.
You’re telling me there are other countries?
