Thailand: A missing French guest was found dead on a shore on Monday, two weeks after he disappeared while swimming with his partner.

His home in Belgium was informed, and he claimed his relatives were going to Paradise to retrieve the body.
Deraut, 28, was swimming at the beach with his partner on Saturday. He and two other travellers, both from Oman, were reported dragged out to sea by the powerful currents. With the assistance of divers and Phuket Foundation detectives, lifeguards on jet ski began their hunt for them.  ,
