No success in finding body of man who fell off boat

By The Nation

 

 

Efforts to find the body of a man who fell off a boat and is suspected to have drowned off Chon Buri’s Sattahip district on Saturday have yielded no success so far.

 

 

The seven-month-pregnant wife of Withoon Ouitrakul, 31, on Sunday performed a ritual at sea seeking supernatural help to find his body.

 

Rujira Lohkham, 29, along with her relatives performed the ritual on the beach in Soi Na Chom Thien 8.

 

Withoon had gone out to the sea on a 40-horsepower, newly built 19-feet-long boat, along with the boat’s owner, Surasak Sukkrajang, 27, and his father Sompho Sukkrajang, 61, for a test drive at 3pm on Saturday. 

 

 

Withoon was reportedly driving the boat at speed when he took a sharp turn that threw all of them into the water. 

 

Withoon was also hit in the head by the boat’s propeller blade before he drowned. Hours of search for his body by 20 boats and 20 divers has been fruitless.

Speed kills more Thai males - it's not just on the roads now.

How tragic, wife (widow) due to give birth in a few months.

Hopefully he will be catched by CCTV somewhere in walkingstreet....

Strange since the bow of a small boat is where passengers can be thrown off during a sharp turn (inertia) The driver on the stern would only experience a pivot.

I have no idea about boats, but when I see them rebuilding boats and remove all the Styrofoam……

Body of missing fisherman found off Pattaya beach

By The Nation

 

The body of a local fisherman was found floating on the sea off Jomtien Beach in Pattaya on Tuesday morning, four days after he drowned, police said.
 

The body of Withoon Uisakul, 31, was spotted by fishing boat Sanan Samut, and taken ashore at Jomtien Beach at 6am.

 

Withoon drowned and disappeared in the afternoon of January 5 while he was test-driving his new fishing boat. He lost control while making a turn and fell overboard before the boat’s propeller hit his head, police said.

 

His mother, Saijai Sukkrajang, 53, and seven-months-pregnant wife, Rujia Lohkham, 29, broke into tears at the sight of his body. The body was sent for an autopsy at Bang Lamung Hospital.
