Father drowns with twin sons in Pattani canal

A father drowned with his twin sons while trying to rescue them from an irrigation canal in Pattani’s Yarang district on Thursday evening, the district chief said.

 

Yarang district chief Olarn Bilson said Ma-ae Ming, 62, an Islamic teacher at an Islamic boarding-house school, drowned with his 7-year-old sons in Moo 5 village in Tambon Korlam at about 4.30pm.

 

Local residents said the father took his sons to help wash their pickup truck on the bank of the canal, but one of the twins accidentally fell into the water and the other promptly went in to rescue him.

 

Seeing both sons in the water, Ma-ae plunged in but the three drowned together, Olarn said.

 

Olarn said the three were known to be very close and loved to do most activities together.

RIP.   Very odd that out of 3 of them, no one could reach anything on the shore...

You can't over estimate the value of swimming lessons for kids. You're never going to know when it may save their lives.

A triple tragedy.  R.I.P  

My 6 year old son starts swimming lessons this weekend. A much needed skill to have.

Mine could all swim before they could walk. I couldn't swim till 11 and nearly drowned at 9. My wife's sister lost a toddler to drowning too.

RIP to these 3 victims.

Devastating!

In the village I live there are a few muslim families. NONE of them take their kids to the FREE pool to swim with all the other children. My 2 year old was in the pool from pretty after the cord was off and clean.

Life can be really shitty at times. Good intentions don't always translate into good outcomes.

Olarn said the three were known to be very close and loved to do most activities together.

 

  So true. RIP.

What a tragedy.  After having nearly drowned on two occasions myself I vowed that my children and grandchildren would learn to swim.  And so they have!  It is an invaluable life skill!  Certainly many Thai's don't have access to proper training either due to lack of facilities, proper instructors or financial constraints.
