Shock Discovery on Nai Yang Beach
It’s just after 11am when panic erupts at Phuket’s Nai Yang Beach. A man lies motionless on the sand, spotted by horrified beachgoers.
Police rush to the scene. The man, a foreigner, is unconscious and alone. He wears only swim shorts—no wallet, no phone, not even a scrap of ID.
Frantic Rescue Efforts Fail
Paramedics race him to Thalang Hospital. Doctors fight to revive him, but hope fades fast.
At 12:25pm, just an hour after his rescue, he’s declared dead. “We did everything we could,” a hospital worker says quietly.
No Name, No Witnesses, No Clues
Who is this man? Police describe him as a white foreigner, middle-aged, found with nothing but his swimwear.
There’s no sign of violence. No evidence of a struggle. “It looks like a tragic accident,” an officer admits.
Detectives scour the beach for answers. No one recognises him. No one saw him enter the water. Not a single clue to his identity or where he was staying.
Autopsy Hopes to Reveal the Truth
The body is transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a full autopsy. Doctors hope to pinpoint the cause of death—and maybe, just maybe, find a clue to who he is.
Police chief Colonel Nikorn Chuthong confirms: “We’re working closely with doctors. As soon as we know his nationality, we’ll contact his embassy.”
Phuket’s Drowning Tragedy Grows
This isn’t the first time. Phuket’s beaches have seen a surge in tourist drownings. Nai Yang, Patong, Karon—all have witnessed similar heartbreak in recent months.
Most victims are foreign visitors, European or Asian, caught by treacherous currents or swimming outside safe zones. The sea here is beautiful—but deadly.
Police Plead for Public’s Help
Now, police turn to the public. Did anyone see this man at Nai Yang Beach? Does anyone know who he is? Any detail could help.
As investigators search for his identity, one thing is painfully clear. Another life lost on Phuket’s paradise shores—while, somewhere, a family waits for news they never wanted to hear.
