Police and rescue services were called to Jomtien beach yesterday after a life guard reported that a wind surfer had discovered the body of a man floating offshore. 

The man was aged about 30-40 and was 160-165 centimeters tall and was wearing just a yellow patterned pair of shorts. 

It was thought he had been dead for 2 - 3 days. 

Decomposition had set in and it was impossible to tell his nationality or identity in any way.

The body was covered in a white sheet opposite Soi 17 as there were many tourists in the area. 

It was taken away for an autopsy.
