Overview

  • A local villager discovered the woman’s body at Haad Rin Beach early on June 3, finding her wearing only an orange bra.
  • She had been staying in a nearby bungalow for about a month and was scheduled to check out on June 11.
  • On June 2 she reportedly tripped outside a convenience store, struck her head, and declined medical assistance.
  • A post-mortem X-ray revealed sand and water in her lungs and officers reported no signs of assault.
  • Safety concerns persist as drownings frequently occur at Thailand’s tourist beaches due to strong rip currents and limited adherence to warning signs.
