PHUKET: -- A man has drowned after entering a pond in Kathu to fish for apple snails, a delicacy in Isan (Northeastern Thailand), yesterday morning (Dec 18).

 

Local residents notified Capt Wichot Meepop of the Kathu Police at 11:45am that a man had drowned in a small pond in Soi Rongpoon, off Wichit Songkram Rd.

 

Police arrived at the scene with Kusoldharm rescue workers to find the body of a shirtless man lying on the banks of the lagoon.

The man was identified by police only as “Mr Narong”, reportedly 40-45 years of age, from Isan.

 

“We found no injuries or signs of assault on the body. We believe had been dead for no more than one hour when we arrived,” Capt Wichot said.
