PHUKET: Doctors and police are examining a mystery human skeleton found on Phuket's Big Buddha Hill early this afternoon.
The bones could belong to a male or a female. Paramedics have also been unable to determine whether the skeleton is Thai or non-Thai.
The only clue: a gold ring on the second finger of the skeleton's left hand.
The bones were found soon after noon today by a worker who has a plantation on Nakkerd Hill, where the Big Buddha has become a major Phuket tourist attraction.
The Big Buddha lies in Chalong, a well-known district of southern Phuket.
Phuket Kusoldharm Foundation rescuers undertook a two-hour cross-country journey today to recover the bones.
The skeleton lay face down and it is estimated that the body had been there for at least a month.
X-rays and a detailed medical examination will be carried out on the skeleton at Vachira Phuket Hospital.

Amateurs.
You can tell male or female from the pelvic gap. It's bigger for females due to the birth canal.
You can tell the difference between Asian and Caucasian by the teeth. Asians have spade shaped teeth. Narrower at the top than the bottom.
Obviously, these guys don't watch CSI.
