The body of a South Korean man who went missing following a long-tail boat accident off Koh Phangan has been recovered.

 

At 11:30 on 31 December, Koh Phangan Police Station’s communication centre received a report of a body floating in the sea near the Haad Rin Queen Pier in Ban Tai subdistrict, Surat Thani province. The discovery was immediately reported to Pol. Col. Panya Niratimanon, Superintendent of Koh Phangan Police Station. Investigators, including Pol. Lt. Col. Kiatkajorn Amloy and medical staff from Koh Phangan Hospital, were dispatched to the scene along with volunteers from the Kusol Sattha Foundation.

 

The body was found approximately 500 metres from the shore, floating face down in the water. The man was wearing a patterned shirt and black shorts. Rescue volunteers recovered the body and brought it ashore for examination by medical officials.

 

Initial identification confirmed the deceased as Mr Jin Yoon, a 30-year-old South Korean national. He had been missing since the early hours of 29 December, when a long-tail boat capsized in Haad Rin Bay.

 

The body has been transferred to the Kusol Sattha Foundation’s facility while authorities contact the victim’s relatives and proceed with further arrangements.
