Residents of a quiet village in Nakhon Ratchasima were left shocked after a local dog was found to have carried a human skull and left it outside a house in the early hours of the morning of 1 May.

Police from Pak Chong Police Station were alerted by the stationmaster of the Ban Bandai Maow railway outpost, who reported the discovery at a property located at 51/1, Ban Bandai Maow, Moo 4, Pak Chong Subdistrict.

Initial inspection revealed that the skull was in an advanced state of decomposition, consisting solely of the cranium with the jawbone missing. Authorities estimate the person had been dead for a considerable period.

The skull was reportedly dropped at the front of the property by a local mixed-breed dog named “Jao Saeb,” a familiar presence in the community. Locals say the dog often roams the nearby area, leading investigators to believe it may have found the remains within a few hundred metres of the site.

Railway employee Mr Chuchart Thoensungnoen, 60, who first confirmed the discovery, said he had been informed by his younger brother. “As soon as I saw it, I contacted the village head immediately,” he said. “We don’t know where the dog found it or who it belongs to.”

Police are now scouring the surrounding area in search of additional remains or evidence. Forensic science specialists have also been called in to assist with identifying the origin of the skull and determining the cause and time of death.

Authorities have not yet ruled out any possibilities and continue to treat the case with urgency due to its disturbing nature. Residents have been advised to remain alert and report any suspicious findings in the area.
