Body of second victim in Chiang Rai boat accident found

The body of a second victim of Monday’s boating accident on the Kok River in Mueang Chiang Rai has been retrieved.

The body of Arkom Panyarew, 35, was found on Thursday, 500 metres downstream from the spot where a long-tail boat sank on Monday evening after striking a rock midstream.
The same accident claimed the lives of Wilaiporn Intharachak, 31, and her two-year-old daughter Apitchaya.
Divers quickly discovered the mother's body, only for the current to carry off the toddler. She has not yet been found.
The boat’s skipper and two other passengers survived the mishap.
