Police discovered the body of a blonde woman, estimated to be around 30, inside a suitcase submerged in a pond behind a golf course in Rayong province.
Investigators suspect the woman was murdered elsewhere, then placed in the suitcase with iron discs to keep it submerged, in an attempt to cover up the crime.
Authorities are actively searching for the victim's relatives, checking missing person reports across Rayong and neighboring Chon Buri, and reviewing CCTV footage to identify suspects and determine how the body ended up in the pond.
A potential lead has emerged from a missing person report at Nong Kham sub-district police station in Chon Buri, with police planning to contact the complainant for victim identification.

Yesterday 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
