The body of a Belgian visitor swept away throughout a whitewater rafting journey in Chiang Mai was found on Weekend.
Rescuers found Nicolas Hinckxt, 30, about ten kilometres from the spot where he fell from an inflatable raft into the Taeng Water in Mae Taeng district on Friday, Thai PBS reported.
The body was at a medical center for an autopsy, and would be collected by his family and intended for his family to consider him for a religious ceremony, it added, without naming the hospital.
Hinckxt was on a rafting adventure on Friday with two close friends, all wearing life vests, when the incident took place.
He was thrown into the river once the boat struck a big rock in the rapids near Muang Kued village.
Rescuers and volunteers started looking for him as soon as the incident has been reported to police at 2pm on Friday, but rainfall and the river’s strong current posed issues for the search team.
His life vest plus safety helmet had been found downstream through the scene on Sunday.
