Chonburi —
A Thai man was found dead in a pond in Chonburi yesterday, May 10th, after leaving a drinking party. Police suspect that the man might have waded into the water to cool himself off and drowned.
Huay Yai Police received a notification of the victim around 8:30 PM yesterday and rushed to the incident scene with rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation.
The authorities arrived at a pond located in the Khao Mai Kaeo sub-district of Banglamung district, Chonburi. The pond had an elevated wooden cabin built on top of it, Pol. Col. Surakit In-um, superintendent of the Huai Yai Police Station, told The Pattaya News.
