Body washed up on Pattaya Beach after midnight swim

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

- At around 6:30am on May 25th, Pattaya police and emergency services after a dead body had been spotted washed up on Pattaya Beach, right opposite Soi 10.The body belonged to a 26 year old Thai man, named Chaiya Hompa.

The girlfriend of the victim was also at the scene. She told police that she and her boyfriend had gone out to the beach the previous night and had been enjoying a few drinks with friends.

After a short while, they decided to go for a midnight swim. All was going well until they emerged from the water and the victim was no where to be seen.
At first they thought that he had wandered off to go buy some more refreshments and something to eat. They waited until they realised that far too much time had passed for that. They started their search, but it wasn’t until daylight rose that they found him washed up onto the sand...

RIP. Another drowning (probably) due to alcohol - happens to locals as well, not just tourists.

The Chinese don't need alcohol to drown. They're almost as good at swimming as ex-pat condo dwellers in Pattaya are at flying.
You could be next.

alcohol,swimming and darkness do not mix well.
plus, there are big fish that can come a long way in from deep water right inshore at night.
