webfact Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Picture: 77kaoded A forager called Sanam told 77kaoded that he saw a corpse propped up against a Bo Tree on a deserted mountain in Ratchaburi, south central Thailand. The dead body had a rope around its neck. That was enough for Sanam to flee down the mountain in terror and report his find to a phu yai ban (local official) in Thammasen sub-district who contacted the police and rescue services. It was a densely forested area and the rescuers split up into three teams to conduct the search. There were many Bo Trees to examine and at one point one team detected the smell of putrefaction but found no body. They walked for many kilometers. One team was scared witless when a snake appeared and they ran away in fear. The rescue was further hampered by the lack of mobile phone coverage. As dusk fell after a three hour search, and with the teams having no lighting gear, they decided to give up the search for the day. Consequently the hanging corpse remains on the mountain for at least another day. Khao Din police were involved in the rescue. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-07-12 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

worgeordie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 They should have gotten the man that found the body, to take them back to the site , but I expect he was too scared. regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regyai Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Should have said he saw a corpse with a rope round its neck with lottery numbers written on its chest. Would have been found in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
