Two women drowned in Chi river as they tried to rescue their loved ones from drowning

 

 

Two women, one of them seven-month pregnant, drowned in the Chi river in Ubon Ratchathani’s Kherng Nai district this morning (Friday) as they tried to help two drowning men.

 

The tragedy occurred at about 11.30 am when 35-year Ms Sudjai Pansiri who was seven-month pregnant jumped into the Chi river in Ban Kud Kasien to rescue her 13-year old son who was struggling in the river and about to drown.

 

Then a man, identified as Mr Chaiyan Jinarak, saw the incident and jumped into the river to offer another helping hand.  The boy was rescued but his pregnant mother drowned.

how horrible.

 

RIP.

calm water, no hazards visible, you really need to try to drown in these conditions. Why don't these idiots learn to swim before entering the water?

RIP, damn shame.

usually wearing street clothes (long pants, longsleeve shirt) gets wet and weighs them down.

It is surprising that swimming isn't taught in school here, I have tried to teach my lot to swim, even bribed them with money but no, all they want is splish splash.

it is a good thing that the FULL story was published and the end of the thai visa article, because the TV article was a mess, did not mention the man being tired or his wife going in after him.
