Some containers with beheaded bodies were found off shore Pattaya.
My wife said this was on Thai Tv this evening Monday. I cannot find any news on that.
Someone knows more?

I cannot find any news reports about this story.
Is your wife certain she heard the words 'beheaded bodies' rather than 'miscellaneous jetsom'

Yes it was reported on channel 3 news on Monday evening, my girlfriend translated it to me and the story goes somthing like this;
Some fishermen found a certain area quite a few klms out in the Gulf of Thailand where there were excessive ammounts of fish whenever they cast their nets though they would also catch decomposed human remains.
They investigated further by scuba diving down to find a shipping container that appeared to have been there for some time and was corroded, inside they found human remains, this happened a few years ago and the fishermen were reluctant to report this to the police in fear that they could get repurcussions as they suspected it could be mafia related.
Recently though the same fishermen have now discovered a further 5 containers nearby to the first one they found, and they too have human remains inside which also again explained why they would always get a good catch of fish when they cast their nets there.
After finding the additional containers they decided to go to the police hence the report on Monday night, the fishermen that were interviewed on camera though did request anonymity and had their faces blurred out due them fearing that this is related to the mafia.
They also stated that there could be over 100 bodies down there.

Channel 3 is a nationwide TV channel and their report on this matter was a good 10-15mins long and very thourgh, they even showed exact locations on a map where the 5 containers are situated and a lengthy interview with the fishermen.
Havn't tried, but it might be on their website, although it will be in Thai.

Yes, the fishermen were from Sattahip and the containers are located about 20km off the Sattahip shoreline.

I meant the Pattaya news. If this happened in Pattaya, surely the Pattaya news teams would be all over this hot news. I wonder why there haven't been any more reports on it, and nothing online either..

Maybe the quota for bad news was reached that day.Remember that a while ago the papers were ordered to announce only a certain amount of bad news.

Sattahip = Thai Navy, so if the bodies turn out to be Rohingya, no need to ask what happened. Not sure how Rohingya would have found their way to the Gulf of Thailand, though - given a lift by the Thai Navy?

How do you equate Sattahip fishermen with the Thai Navy?
And the Rohingya boat people?
Let's keep the wild speculation to a minimum please.

perhaps because of possibly why it took years for the news to come out in the first place...

* "The committee (appointed by the military junta) concluded that as many as 1400 of the 2500 killed had no link to drugs. However, while giving the opinion that orders to kill came from the top, the panel failed to establish sufficient evidence to charge Thaksin or anybody in the Cabinet or police force with the murders."

If it was a organised "final solution" of those involved in drugs then there will be many whiteness's who know part or the whole story, far too many to keep quite for long.

I am puzzled as to why I received the story today and not yesterday. Possibly the journalists wanted to gather more information before they released the story or maybe they promised the national TV Channel that they would release the story to them first and delay the release to local organizations. Anyway, we have it now and it will appear on the website later, but the story is mosty speculation with little evidence.

i saw a report from Channel 3 last night where one of their own reporters went out on a fishing boat, donned his dive gear & went down with a film crew and filmed everything at the container site.
there will be no sweeping this one under the carpet now.....

If it does turn out to be the missing from 1992, there won't be much of an effort to clear it up from a military installed government.
