A famous male model was found dead in the Chao Phraya River on Thursday, two days after his family reported he was missing.
Police said local people reported finding a man's body floating in the water near Ratchawong pier.
Body tattoos and documents on the body confirmed it was Kullapat Pongpraphab, known in the modelling and entertainment business as Kendo.
The evidence included two tattoos, ATM and credit cards and a Siriraj Hospital patient card bearing his name. Judging by the condition of the body, he had been dead about two days.
Kendo, 27, had been missing since Tuesday. His family and friends had posted messages on social media calling for help finding him.
Kendo made a last post on his Facebook page on Jan 3.
Police and rescue workers also found a second body in the same area of the river. It was a woman aged 20 to 25 years. She had not been identified.
Police had not so far established any link between the two deaths. However, she had also died about two days ago.
Both bodies were taken to Siriraj Hospital for autopsies.
