The Siam Beach Hotel on the Thai island of Koh Chang will remain closed after a wing collapsed killing one tourist and injuring five others.
The victim was named as Thai tourist Kotchakorn Thammachak after the two storey detached block completely collapsed after a rain storm at the weekend.
Authorities have ordered the hotel to remain closed while investigations continue.
The Provincial Department of Public Works suspects poor construction standards could be a factor.
The hotel will be closed indefinitely while other hotel buildings, which were not affected, are inspected.
Officials said they will consider bringing charges if building regulations were not met when it was constructed.
Trat province governor Channa Iemsaeng also ordered inspection teams to check all hotels on Koh Chang for any signs of poor construction work.
He noted the Siam Beach Hotel had been built over a wetland area which may have been a contributing factor to the collapse.
