[snoop1130]

 

A male tourist, believed to be of Indian nationality, was found floating dead off the coast of Pattaya’s Walking Street on Thursday morning, February 1st. The discovery was made around 10:30 AM near Soi 14, prompting a swift response from local authorities.

 

Pattaya police, along with tourist police, immigration officers, and rescue personnel, arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the report. The body, estimated to have been deceased for at least three hours, was located approximately 20 meters from the shore.

 

The deceased, aged between 40 and 50, was clad in black shorts and a brown T-shirt. The initial examination revealed no apparent signs of foul play. Ms. Supaporn Thanudetkhiri, a 25-year-old employee at a nearby restaurant on Walking Street, reported spotting the body floating near the back of her venue and alerted authorities.

RIP. I'm so glad there was no suspicion of foul play...perhaps a sudden illness or a mistake in the water.

"No apparent sign of foul play" does not mean that foul play may not be suspected.

Rare to see and Indian traveling solo, perhaps an early morning swim gone wrong?

Floating and walking. Just a sad contradiction 🙏

Slipped while bathing ?

Almost no Indians know how to swim (I think Indian government estimate is 0.5%) even though it has a long coastline.  There are frequent drownings in India and usually nobody amongst onlookers is able to help.  Its generally only rich Indians who know how to swim.

Swimming right after a meal can lead to stomach cramps, and that can bedeadly

Very true...... I suspect some suicidal actions here.
