Christmas Day after a golf buggy accident.
泰国警方找到两韩国人的遗体,他们于圣诞节当天因为高尔夫球车车祸溺毙。
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.
根据警方说法,他们在一个渡假中心的码头双双摔下,因为第二台高尔夫球车没能及时
停止。
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

game across the river.

"Their wives said both were able to swim but I think the cause of drowning
was the strong undercurrent," a police spokesperson told AFP.

强劲的暗流。
