Authorities in Rayong are investigating the discovery of a male skeleton found beneath an abandoned condominium near Mae Ramphueng Beach.
On September 16, 2026, police from Phe Station in Rayong province were alerted by local residents to the discovery of human remains at an abandoned condominium site located approximately 200 meters from Mae Ramphueng Beach. Upon arrival, investigators and forensic teams identified the remains as those of a male, estimated to be approximately 170 centimeters tall. The body was found wearing jeans and grey-branded underwear, with a large section of brick wall—measuring roughly one meter wide and five inches thick—resting on top of the remains.
Preliminary forensic estimates suggest the individual had been deceased for approximately 30 days.
