Autopsy in this one will be very interesting.

I can narrow this down. Murder or suicide.

More like a heath issue while walking in out going surf.  Who bothers with swim trunks, cigs & condom if offing yourself.   Nobody is dumb enough to think a 1 kg rock is going to sink you. 

 

Since wearing the backpack, kind of rules out foul play.  Unless of course he swam out into the surf to avoid a mugging, and misjudged his ability to tread water longer than the threat.

 

OK, I'm bored

Sure it will. Swim out as far as you can until utterly exhausted. Now, can't get back in. Not a great way to go... Drowning

 

Condoms are odd. Didn't care about his health but was minded of others?

My vote is on the former but as all farang deaths are treated as suicides by the police to avoid pesky paperwork, the official verdict will be the latter.

RIP, hopefully his identity is discovered so that his family can be informed.

The circumspect with due regard for their afterlife. Follows an ancient Egyptian tradition.

Never overestimate the intelligence of farangs in Thailand. Yes, should have packed bottles of Chang instead.
