Charred Remains of body found in steel drum in East Pattaya



PATTAYA: -- Officers from Huay Yai Police Station were called to a Tapioca Field in the locality on Wednesday afternoon following the discovery of a steel drum containing the charred remains of a human body.

Police Colonel Gampon, the Chief of Huay Yai Police, led the initial investigation and was joined by medics from Banglamung Hospital.

The drum was found by Khun Sa-in aged 51, who works as a farmer and was returning home when he spotted the steel object and noticed a foul odor coming from inside the 200 liter drum.

Rescue Workers were called in to sift through the remains and recover body parts which will now be sent to the Police Forensic Institute in Bangkok for DNA analysis.

No clues could be found as to the name, gender or nationality of the victim who is thought to have died around 5-6 days prior to the discovery of the remains.

Sad way to go

RIP to the victim. Hope he/she will be identified and be put to rest in peace, condolences to the family and may the culprit be found and receive what he deserves.

It may even have been a cheap cremation for all we know at the moment.

Never ever ever going to Pattaya !!! RIP whoever you are.

Who knows? I don't.

Next...

A post in bad taste removed

I do remember an Ex Pat years ago saying he had told his wife to not tell anybody when he passed on, just to cremate him in the back yard and continue collecting his pension.

No, don't go! You'll end up in a steel drum for sure!

Sigh.

RIP.

Without a better picture, wonder if it is just some road kill cleaned up? Lots of poor dogs get run over on the roads in and around Huai Yai.

Look like the pixelated some of that, must be a recognizable bone, skull or the like.

If it is, RIP.

"Never ever ever going to Pattaya !!!"

How will we ever cope without you?

There's no shortage of tragedy and misery in the world. Thailand and Pattaya are far from the worst in that regard. Hopefully the deceased is at peace and that whoever may have ended his/her life prematurely will spend many years tormented by the memory of what he did.

Because the rescue teams are always too late!

Did he specify to wait for him to die of natural causes?

No, but then he had a good wife and AFAIK he is still very much alive.
