In a mysterious case on Doi Inthanon, police have discovered the decomposing body of a naked man, believed to be a foreigner, on a hillside off the Chom Thong–Doi Inthanon road.

 

Officers from the Chom Thong police station were alerted to the scene on kilometre marker 33 in Ban Luang subdistrict, Chom Thong district, Chiang Mai. The location, approximately 200 metres above the road, led to a prompt response by the local disaster response team and a specialised rescue unit.

 

The victim, estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old, was found near a natural stream. The advanced state of decomposition suggests that he may have been dead for more than two weeks.

 

A white mobile phone charger was discovered wrapped around the man’s neck, along with several items scattered nearby, including a short-sleeved shirt, a pair of shorts, trainers, a bottle of shower cream, and an insulated cup. All evidence has been collected for further analysis.

 

The body has been transferred to the Forensic Department at Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital for a detailed post-mortem examination to ascertain the true cause of death. 

 

Meanwhile, investigators from Chom Thong police are coordinating with officials from Doi Inthanon National Park to gather further information about the unidentified man.
