The bodies of two South Korean men who drowned in a freak golfing accident in northern Thailand have been found, police said on Thursday.
Their wives – who were in one buggy – had accidentally rammed the men as the group were on a ferry preparing to cross the river that runs through the course.
The impact threw all of them into the muddy waters, said district police Lieutenant Colonel Suwat Suawatmontri. The women were promptly rescued by nearby fishermen.
More than 50 rescuers from the military and police were involved in the search for the missing men – Jun Yong-sung, 68, and Jaeoong Ha, 76.
One body was found last night about 2 kilometres from the accident site, while the other was discovered by villagers on Thursday morning “floating near a temple”, Suwat said.
