A decomposed body of an unidentified man washed ashore at a beach in Nakhon Si Thammarat on Saturday.

 

Police said the body was spotted at the beach in Moo 9 village in Tambon Na Saton in Hua Sai district.

 

The man appeared to have been dead for about a week and the body was decomposed beyond recognition.

 

The man had superstitious tattoos on his body and he was wearing a well-known Buddha amulet of the Wat Sri Chompu Ong Tue in Nong Khai.

 

Police suspect he was a fishing crew member from the Northeast who might have accidentally fallen from the boat or who might have been killed.

 

The body was sent to the provincial hospital for an autopsy and a disaster victim identification process.

His relatives should be seeking to recover the cost of the amulet - it was clearly not fit for purpose.

If he fell from a fishing vessel I'm sure the good captain would have reported his accident to appropriate authorities & notified all other shipping in the area to lookout for him!!

But then again this is Thailand so I'll go with the police theory #2
