Body Of Elderly Dutchman Found Floating In Chao Praya
Police are investigating the death of a 73-year-old Dutchman who was found dead floating in the Chao Praya River early Wednesday morning.
Johannes Schreder was discovered in the river close to Samut Prakan town hall at around 6am.
National police spokesman Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen told reporters that there were no visible injuries on the body of Mr Schreder and the cause of death was unclear.
He added the elderly tourist arrived in Thailand on a tourist visa to meet a Thai woman he’d met online 2 months earlier.
Ms Siriporn was questioned by police who told them she’d met Mr Schreder at 10am on Tuesday and he told her he’d be returning to The Netherlands.
No further details were released by police who said they’d wait on the results of the autopsy before proceeding with the case.
83 pubs in the capital were temporarily shuttered on Saturday due to fire safety failings.
Following the fire at a Sattahip pub in the early hours of Friday morning that left 15 people dead, the Governor of Bangkok ordered inspections at entertainment venues across all 50 districts.
So far over 400 Bangkok venues have been inspected to ensure fire exits and escape routes are adequate and up to standard.
With tourists starting to return, the governor said it was important to step up safety measures.
Governor Chadchart has ordered further inspections in a bid to weed out entertainment venues operating illegally.
Another week, and another new long-term visa proposal from the government.
