Drowning in Saen Saeb would have to be one of the most horrible ways to go. I suspect you would be subject to more microbes and disease than if you swam in the Nile!!

At least he took off his shirt before he took his midnight swim...

Or in the sea off Beach Road Pattaya!

If his name was the same as the words on his wrist then a rather unfortunate surname I would have thought
