Korean tourists drown in freak accident at Thai golf course
Two Korean tourists have died in a freak accident on a Thai golf course.
The two South Korean men drowned while golfing, when their golf buggy collided with their wives’ buggy.
It knocked them into a river and they drowned
The group were on a ferry about to cross the river which meanders through the Noth Thailand golf course.
The bodies were recovered about one mile downstream after a search by more than 50 rescue workers and police.
"Their wives said both are able to swim but I think the cause of drowning was the strong undercurrent," said police lieutenant colonel Suwat Suawatmontri.
The men were named as Sung Jun-yong, 68, and Ha Jae-oong, 76.
