A drunken Plutaluang man drowned after going for a swim in a local reservoir.
Four Sawang Rojanathamsathan Foundation divers pulled the body of Pad Thong-ab, 40, up from three meters of Chonburi Reservoir 9 Aug. 3. He had been dead about two hours.
Pad’s brother, Thanom, 34, said the two men had come to the Sattahip District reservoir to collect morning glory and shells. But Pad also had brought along a bottle of whiskey, which he sat down to drink on the shoreline.
Pad then announced he was hot and needed to take a swim. He never returned.
