A honeymooning Korean woman in her 20s has been found dead on a beach on the Thai resort island of Phuket.

The Korean Embassy in Thailand said the woman's husband is missing.

The woman was found lying face down on Patong Beach at 1 a.m Wednesday (local time). There was no sign of foul play, the embassy said.

"The woman is believed to have drowned," a Korean Embassy official said. "But it's still too early to conclude the cause of her death."

The embassy said it is cooperating with police to ensure the case is thoroughly investigated.
