PHUKET: -- Police are trying to identify the naked body of a man found floating in a pond in Kathu this afternoon (May 9)

Lt Sawanya Eidthrong of the Thung Thong Police was called to a lagoon off Wichit Songkram Rd at 12:40pm after a local resident discovered the body floating face down in the water.

“The victim was about 170-175cm tall. We believe he died at least three days before his body was found,” Lt Sawanya said.

“We also found a pair of black flip-flops and a fishing net nearby, but no items of clothing. We are not sure if these belonged to the man,” he added.

Officers found no obvious signs of injury or assault, Lt Sawanya said.
