Human remains discovered scattered across Asian Highway in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Rescue teams are searching for human remains spread over a three-kilometer stretch of the Asian Highway following a fatal collision.
On November 10, 2026, rescue workers from the Pracharuamjai Thung Song Foundation were dispatched to the Asian Highway (Route 41) in the Na Pho sub-district of Thung Song, Nakhon Si Thammarat, to recover human remains. According to Police Colonel Somporn Nitipak, Superintendent of Thung Song Police Station, the remains were found scattered across a distance of over three kilometers, extending into the neighboring Na Bon district. Initial assessments indicate the victim was male, though the body was so severely damaged that identification is currently impossible. Authorities suspect the victim was struck by a vehicle while on the four-lane road during the early hours of the morning and was subsequently run over by multiple passing vehicles. As of the morning of November 10, search efforts were ongoing to locate missing body parts, including the head and arms, which may have been carried away by vehicles or further crushed. Police are currently investigating the incident to identify the victim and determine the circumstances surrounding the collision. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the extreme dangers of walking on high-speed, multi-lane highways, especially during low-visibility hours. Authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the deceased or the specific vehicles involved in the incident.
