Nongprue Police and Highway Police rushed to the scene and inspected the body of the man, thought to be aged over 75.
He was wearing smart clothes and had sustained a number of injuries including broken legs, a fractured spine and significant injuries to his face, including two black-eyes.
Inside his trouser pocket was cash and valuables, including a Big C shopping receipt which was taken into evidence.
Approximately 50 metres away from the body was a bank book in the name of joint account holders, Mr. Hans Kunne and Mr. Holger Hans-Werner Erhardt from a Siam Commercial Bank Branch in North Pattaya and a log book for a Nissan pick-up in the name of Mr. Hans Kunne aged 84.
Police decided evidence was present to suggest he did not die at the location and had already died when he was apparently dumped on the Highway.
It is also suspected his body was thrown from a moving vehicle which would have been traveling at a high speed. The leg and spinal injuries are thought to have been sustained at this point.
Police are still unable to positively identify the man but suspect he is one of the two account holders of the Siam Commercial Bank account.
A post-mortem examination is taking place and Police are appealing for anyone who may know the deceased man to come forward and contact Nongprue Police Station on 038 249 820.
