Two golf buggies were involved
Thai police have recovered the
bodies of two South Korean men who drowned on Christmas Day after a golf buggy accident.The men fell into the Nan river after their buggy
was hit from behind by a second buggy driven by their wives.Both couples were knocked off a pier at a resort after the second buggy failed
to stop in time, according to police.Their caddie also fell into the river but was rescued by a fisherman who rowed his boat over to assist
them all.Police say the couples were staying at the Si Phirom resort in central Thailand and had attempted to return to the clubhouse after
finishing a golf game across the river.The resort uses a floating platform with slings and a pulley to assist with the crossing, according
to local press.The two Koreans have been identified as Jaseoong Ha, 76, and Jun Yong Sung, 68."Their wives said both were able to swim but I
think the cause of drowning was the strong undercurrent," a police spokesperson told AFP.
