Decomposed Body of foreigner found off the coast of Pattaya.

These pictures come from the Bali Hai Port at the south end of Pattaya Beach where Police Lieutenant Colonel Pongsawat from Pattaya Police Station waited for a Sawang Boriboon Rescue Boat which had picked up a body from waters off Lin Island, 20kms off the coast of Pattaya.

The body is that of a man, probably a foreign man due to the size of the body.

The estimated time of death was at least 7 days prior to the discovery of the body and due to the high level of decomposition; an inspection for signs of trauma was not possible.

The body was discovered by fishermen who alerted Police to their gruesome discovery. Police are now waiting for the results of a post mortem examination which should assist them in identifying the body.

The only clue as to his identity was JPress branded underwear the man was wearing at the time of his death.

Graphic photographs of severley mutilated and decomposed and putrid stinking corpse withheld.

JPress brand underwear, well that could only be one man! Seriously, I think the police detectives might be on the wrong trail. Due to the high level of decomposition they think he must have been bobbing for 7 days in the drink. Not necessarily at all. Last time I was down on Walking Street I'd say that about 30 - 40% of the farangs in the bars were exhibiting very high levels of decomposition. On some, it was hard to tell the living from the dead!

Were any Ladyboy's implicated?...............Sound's like the work of a Ladyboy gang operating out of Beach rd, with backup from Jomtien?........C***'s, that lot! ..........let''s hope the bib apprehend those responsible asap;.......NO DOUBT Ladyboys. Lets petition to up the fine to 200 baht!................As ever, when Pattaya related, take it with a pinch of shit!......Sorry for the floater.......
