A tourist has been killed after banging his head on the wall while having 'vigorous sex' with a transsexual escort in Thailand.

The naked body of a foreigner was found in a hotel room in the resort city of Pattaya on the country's eastern Gulf coast in the early hours of Sunday morning.

There are reports in Thailand that the unidentified male, aged between 40 and 45, struck his head on a wall during a 'wild' sexual encounter.

Pictures have emerged of a 22-year-old sex worker standing next to the body of the victim in the hotel room with police.

According to the Thai website Pattaya One News, which cited a local blogger, police were called to the scene at about 5am.

The sex worker reportedly told officers that the tourist, who was said to be drunk, had paid 3,000 baht (£58) for for 'short time shenanigans' after meeting earlier that night.
