Relatives of a man who had been missing all day turned to his five year old Shih Tzu/Poodle crossbreed who was let out to search.

In no time Ghee had found her master. 

He was floating in the klong near where he had been cutting some banana trees about 100 meters off the road behind an orange orchard in the Bang Khontee area of Samut Songkhram. 

Pichai, 65, was shirtless when examined by Lt-Col Suthep Jamikorn of the local constabulary. They determined there were no suspicious circumstances.

Somsri, the sister of the victim's wife said they had all told Pichai not to go out on his 3 am forays to cut banana leaves to make into little boats - but he wouldn't listen so they just let him get on with it. 

He had been missing for most of the day before they turned to his faithful Ghee for help.
