Tanyapat Patthikongpan, head of Pak Phanang district, told Reuters: “Villagers found the wreckage, measuring about 2 metres wide and 3 metres long (6.6 by 9.8 feet).”
The find has fuelled speculation in the Thai media that the debris could belong to MH370, which disappeared during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

There has been no official confirmation that the wreckage belongs to a plane.
And Patthikongpan added that “fishermen said it could have been under the sea for no more than a year, judging from barnacles on it.”
