At the scene was the body of Mr. Lief Anders Lonvik aged 68 who was pulled from the water by a member of the public who spotted him floating face-down.
A Beach vendor recognized the man and revealed he would come to the beach, alone, every day and would sit and drink beer.

So sad really! come to thailand, drink yourself drunk every day and die.

sad, yet very common

rip, hope he find peace and happiness

RIP

Not my choice of a way to go, but I hope he is in peace now.

I don't know why I feel so bad about this, but I do. The story isn't very complete but I wonder if he went to drink alone, lonely. I wonder if he was just lost. I wonder if it was even an accident.

Probably never know.

RIP, sir.
