Pattaya —
At 11:06 PM on December 30th, 2024, Pattaya police were alerted to a grim discovery near a resort in Naklua. The body of a foreigner, yet to be identified, was found in a highly unusual position—folded and wedged into a 50×50 cm drainpipe, with legs pointing upward.
Pattaya police secured the area and inspected the scene, including the third-floor rooftop of a nearby building. They noted scrape marks on a large tree adjacent to the drain.
Resort staff reported that another tourist first spotted the body, prompting immediate notification of authorities.
Pattaya police are collaborating with forensic experts and investigators from Chonburi Province to determine the cause of death and the circumstances leading to the incident.
This is a developing story and more details may be added as they are released.
