A Bangkok labourer has discovered human remains in a forest behind the construction site where he works, south of the main city in Bang Na. Thai Residents reports that the man was on a day off and on his way to go fishing in a swamp in the forest when he came across the skull. Running back to the construction site, he told his colleagues about his grisly discovery and the police were called.

The police, accompanied by rescue workers and doctors from Chulalongkorn Hospital, arrived shortly after to inspect the area. They discovered other skeletal human remains in the same area where the skull was found, about 20 metres into the forest, although it has not yet been confirmed if all remains are the same person.

Officers also found a T-shirt and shorts with some of the body parts, along with a wallet, which contained an ATM card and ID card belong to a 36 year old man. The investigation is continuing.
