The body was badly decomposed and could not be identified. However, his blue plant is still on and there are two wrist bands and tattoos are still visible on his arms.61-year old Mr Chamnong Srisang stumbled on the body swept on the beach as he was jogging. He then alerted the police who quickly arrived at the scene with rescue workers.Police prohibited the rescue workers from posting the body on the social media until it could be determined who he was. The body was later sent to the forensic medicine centre in Surat Thani for examination and identification.It was initially suspected that the body could belong to a Swiss tourist who went missing from Koh Tao in Surat Thani on November 8.

So, therefore, at least one of the stories is totally wrong. Both stories are weird if one is to assume the body arrived at the finding place by natural means. Koh Phanghan is South of Tao. N Sri Thammarat is far South from Tao. Winds are coming from the East-north-east. Currents are northern easterly. Most likely a body floating from Koh Tao would end up somewhere around Chumphon or even Hua Hin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I am surprised of the location of the body if it is him. Primarily because he was snorkeling the lee waters of KT and it would seem had he lost consciousness in that area then he would never have been pulled away from the island. I am not one to go for conspiracy theory but this is a bit surprising. Do you sail those waters? I don't know if you actually live down that way but winds were strong from the NE for the 2-3 days surrounding his disappearance and creating fairly large and strong surface currents, if thats helpful.

reggaebkk Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 As tourism rightfully drops in thailand, attacks on tourists will multiply. Travelling to thailand has always brought many attacks and deaths, but all that was hidden in the numbers and silenced by police the media. Now there are not more deaths than before, they are just noisier in the press. Wait after a couple of years of touris draught and crisis and you will see 10 times more attacks on tourists. Get out of there when its still time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsanddogs Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Confused. On a well known FB page there are photos of a man that was discovered dead in the sea by fisherman. The photos show the poor man in the net with all the fish. But this news article on TV today says a man discovered a body on the beach. So are there two dead men that have been found like others posters have queried? This article says a body was found on the beach on Tuesday 11th November; http://www.thephuketnews.com/body-found-off-koh-tao-possibly-missing-swiss-tourist-49584.php And the Thai PBS says a body was found on the beach on Friday. I assume that means yesterday the 14th? Edited November 15, 2014 by catsanddogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyexile Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My question is how many bodies are floating off Koh Tao Yes. where found, when. Can`t both be the missing Swiss guy can they, No FB from rescue workers so just have to wait for RTP or have they learnt some compassion and discretion? Or just holding out for higher photo prices? Surely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
