Rescue workers recovered the body of paramotor pilot Manop from Pasak Jolasid reservoir after over 24 hours of searching following a crash.
The paramotor, carrying pilot Manop and passenger Mak, experienced engine problems, reportedly due to air turbulence, and ditched into the lake.
Manop, who could not swim, drowned after clinging to the sinking machine, while passenger Mak, able to swim, was rescued by fishermen.
An expert suggested strong winds caused the engine shutdown and highlighted the absence of life-saving gear, recommending life jackets for paramotor flights.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
