Authorities are notifying the victim’s relatives, who are expected to travel to Sa Kaeo province to repatriate her body. The tragic event marks at least the second such incident this year involving a Thai national in Poipet, following the death of a 31-year-old man from Kanchanaburi who reportedly fell from a building in January.
