The Chiang Mai hotel at the centre of a mystery after four guests - three of them tourists - died at the northern Thailand property, is being demolished to make way for a new hotel.
The Downtown Inn made headlines amid claims that chemicals
used there might have caused the deaths.
A British couple, a 23-year-old New Zealander, and a Thai
tour guide all died within 16 days in adjoining rooms at the three-star
Downtown Inn in February 2011.
Thai health authorities initially blamed "toxic
seaweed" for one of the deaths, but it later emerged that hotel staff
might have been over-zealous with the use of pesticides to remove bed bugs.
The Bangkok Post reported that an official report -
released after a five-month probe into the incidents - concluded that three of
the deaths were probably connected to the use of pesticides.
Chiang Mai authorities have subsequently introduced a
series of public health safety measures which they hope will offer greater
protection to tourists.
