[Thaivisa News]

Phuket:- A body of an unidentified foreigner who looked like an Arab was found at rocks on a beach near a well-known resort in Tambon Rawai of Chalong district Saturday evening.

Pol Lt Weerayut Thansirisukwarakul, an officer on duty of the Chalong police station, was alerted at 8:30 pm about the body.

He informed Chalong police chief Pol Col Noppadol Thiraprawat who rushed to the scene with inspector Pol Lt Col Jamroon Playduang and rescuers from the Ruamjai Phuket Fuondation.

They found the body of a white man, who looked like an Arab, lying on his back. He had no shirt on. His shorts were lowered to his knees. He was wearing red sports shoes.

His head was resting on a black cloth bag. Three t-shirts and two trousers as well as a wallet were found the in the bag. The wallet had Bt325 in cash. No travel document and no identification card were found.

The man had apparently soiled himself. There was a sign of bite at his left knee. A liquor bottle and a drinking water bottle, which have not been opened, were found near the body. There was also a trace of vomit.

Officials believe the man had died at least six hours earlier.

His body was rushed to the Wachaira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy.

Investigators of the Chalong police station were dispatched to check the scene and take photos ad make a map of the location.

Resorts and hotels nearby were asked to check whether any of their guests had disappeared.

Brilliant description. Perhaps that's supposed to mean แขกขาว khaek khaaw

I also appreciate the very relevant details of the trace of vomit and him soiling himself.

Dead bodies always soil themselves, was that really necessary to include in the report.

Ladyboy.......get the bite mark....

[steelepulse]

Snake bite? I read elsewhere that this was at Ban Krating in Ao Sane, which for whatever reason isn't mentioned here, perhaps due to this particular resort being pals with a certain fugitive ex PM.

[SOTIRIOS]

....so much for staying at well-known places.....

[Oziex1]

Rushed to hospital for an autopsy??

What, with sirens and lights flashing.

[English 1]

​Oh Ah.....A White Man that looks like an ARAB !!! ???

[grumpyoldman]

No dough for a hotel room, so decided on a drunken camp out with another bottle of booze, drops shorts to relieve himself and gets hit by the cobra. Thats GOM's "the butler did it in the library with the knife".

[steve down under]

And what is the relevance of stating that he had Bt 325 in his wallet ?

Of course it was necessary for an uneducated reporter who doesn't know these things.

Well, as we are expected to solve the mystery here on TV, it helps us by suggesting that he wasn't robbed! Come on steve, I know you Aussies are a bit slow but this is pretty elementary!

[MockingJay]

Are all these grisly intimate details in Thai Visa articles put out in the open on purpose to ridicule the victims or what is the reason behind?

Not really. What's to say they didn't just take all the $100 bills and leave the few Baht for the ferryman?

[IamNoone88]

No one mentioned suicide?

[Nemesis7]

RIP. Surely so many puzzles are missing here.

Don't worry-----we have a large squad of professionals here that will supply all the theories needed........

What a load of drivel per se.

​Oh Ah.....A White Man that looks like an ARAB !!! ???

To be honest, after living in the mid east for many years there are quite a few. You would never know they were arab until they open there mouth and speak.

[fareastguy]

And what is the relevance of stating that he had Bt 325 in his wallet ?

Maybe to put to rest any issues that he was robbed ??

Just a guess !!

[Monkeyrobot]

Why was his shorts pulled down? And the bite on the knee?

[northernphil]

The Arab soiled his self. I think there is a connection here . His shorts were round his knees. Just where mine are when I take a dump. Police rushed to the scene to take photos. Please don't post on TV.

[SlyouThai]

Rushed to hospital for an autopsy??

What, with sirens and lights flashing.

well.. if you dont leave in Phuket , let me tell you that the traffic is nightmare , so they gonna need 3/4 more times without sirens. Dont you think they should rush to hospital and then be ready to attend an other emergency with this time somebody they can save ? or would you be happy if you have an accident and ambulance is 30 min late because of a dead body stuck in the traffic ??.......

[Remi080]

This pol really looks like we all have to gues what happened , oke lets start this investigation. So he find himself a good spot to rest, start to mastrubate, sudden he get bitten by a sea snake, before he could pull up his trousers he start to vomitting, and died.

My appologies for make fun of this, i hope the mistery gets solved, may his relatives have strength and may his soul rest in peace.

[sambum]

And what is the relevance of stating that he had Bt 325 in his wallet ?

Perhaps to show that robbery was not the motive? And it would be helpful to know what kind of bite mark, because sea snakes have very short fangs and are relatively docile creatures, whereas a King Cobra ......... F@#%! Were there teeth marks or fang marks? IMO the reference to a "bite mark" is click bait.

Maybe ritual suicide - Cleopatra style? (Sorry - conspiracy theory!) " His head was resting on a black cloth bag. Three t-shirts and two trousers as well as a wallet were found the in the bag. The wallet had Bt325 in cash. No travel document and no identification card were found. The man had apparently soiled himself. There was a sign of bite at his left knee. A liquor bottle and a drinking water bottle, which have not been opened, were found near the body. There was also a trace of vomit."

I've seen a few dead bodies and can't remember any of them having shit themselves.

What time frame are you talking about that this happens?

I reckon it would be about the time that the pathologist gets his knife out!

The great thing about ThaiVisa News articles is they always raise more questions than they answer.

RIP and take with you the answers to all the speculation!
