Neighbours who were interviewed about the incident said that Pong had been experiencing issues with his girlfriend, which led to him feeling deeply distressed. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the unfortunate event.

In related Chon Buri news, a foreign couple stumbled upon the dead body of a Thai man on Koh Larn while they were travelling on the island in Chon Buri province on Saturday, May 27. The mystery surrounding death has yet to be unravelled.

A Thai resident revealed on Facebook that he was enjoying Koh Larn beach when a foreign couple approached him, seeking assistance to contact police as they had found a corpse. The man did not understand the foreigners at first so they led him to the scene.

Upon arrival at the scene, he was confronted by a naked Thai man lying dead on the beach near the popular attraction called Pha Na Yak (Giant Face Cliff). The man said he was shocked and initially contacted National Institution for Emergency Medicine via 1669 instead of the police hotline 191. Read more on the story HERE.
