Police are baffled by the mysterious discovery of human bones along Kanchanaphisek Ring Road in a rural area of Bangkok. The bones were just found in the agricultural Khan Na Yao district of the capital city, but it is suspected that they may have been resting there for nearly a year.

The discovery of mystery bones was made by the Ruam Katanyu rescue foundation while cleaning land near Wonderland Park. The area lies between a local road and the main road.

Officials uncovered the bones in the undergrowth near a footbridge while tidying up the area. No details were provided by police regarding the gender, age, or identity of the remains. The cause of death remains unknown.

It was determined that the bones were not present in the area one year prior, during the last maintenance and grass-cutting by the foundation workers.

Thailand has seen a series of dead bodies disposed of and then found in mysterious circumstances.

In November, police were notified when a local fisherman found the dead body of an unidentified transwoman floating in a canal in Pathum Thani province near Bangkok. That same month, a Thai sailor found the dead body of an unidentified foreign man in the sea off Samae San Island in the Sattahip district of Chon Buri. A one-kilogram rock was found in the man’s backpack.
