A Nakhon Nayok construction worker who set out on Saturday to fetch rice for his mother was found on Tuesday morning drowned in a roadside ditch.
A farmer-neighbour came across the body of Thianchai Weeraphan, 40, in the ditch beside Pak Lad-Wat Chang Road in Ban Nong Makok, Ban Na district.
His motorcycle was in there too, along with a 15kg bag of rice.
Thianchai’s mother, Lamyong Weeraphan, 63, told police she’d gone to his friends’ houses looking for him in vain.
