Body of Missing Woman Recovered Near Phuket Bridge
Authorities have recovered the body of a 33-year-old woman who went missing after reportedly falling from the Thao Thep Kasattri Bridge.
On the morning of July 30, 2026, rescue teams in Phuket located the body of a 33-year-old woman, identified as Ms. Kanthaporn, near Dan Yit Beach in the Mai Khao sub-district of Thalang. The discovery follows a search operation that began after the woman was reported missing on the evening of July 28.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the incident was initially reported when witnesses observed a person falling from the Thao Thep Kasattri Bridge, which connects Phuket and Phang Nga provinces. A Mercedes-Benz vehicle was subsequently found abandoned on the bridge, leading authorities from the Tha Chatchai and Khok Kloi police stations to initiate a search.
Following the recovery of the body, forensic investigators and local police have taken charge of the scene. The remains have been transported for a formal autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, and authorities are currently coordinating with the victim's family to facilitate funeral arrangements.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the ongoing police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the abandoned vehicle and the fall. While the recovery concludes the search phase, the official investigation into the events leading up to the incident remains ongoing. Further details regarding the cause of the fall are expected to be released by the relevant authorities following the completion of the forensic examination.
