Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Heavy rainfall and intense flooding in the Nong Prue area near Pattaya, Thailand, led to an incident where a man, presumed to be a South Korean national, was swept away by strong currents. CCTV footage shows three men attempting to navigate a flooded road when the individual was carried away by a drainage ditch current. While two companions managed to reach safety, they reportedly left the scene without contacting authorities. Local authorities and divers have searched nearby waterways and drainage systems, but no trace of the man was initially found. Police investigated a residence used by the group, discovering wet clothing that matches the attire seen in surveillance footage, though no link to illegal activity had been established. On September 27, a body believed to be the missing South Korean man was recovered from a canal in Nong Prue. Following the discovery, authorities are working to formally identify the deceased. Local police, tourist police, and immigration officials are continuing efforts to locate the two remaining men. Investigators are also examining several sets of computer equipment found at the group’s rental property to determine its origin and purpose. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Pattaya flooding: Body of suspected South Korean man recovered from canal A body believed to be a missing South Korean man was recovered from a flooded canal near Pattaya, Thailand, three days after he was swept away during heavy rains in Chonburi province. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pattaya-floods-south-korean-man-missing-after-being-swept-away ### 2026-09-24: Pattaya flooding: Foreign man missing after being swept into canal A foreign man remains missing after being swept away by floodwaters in a canal near Pattaya, Thailand.
