Sawang Boriboon rescue services were called to a restaurant at the end of Soi Bun Samphan 17 in Nong Prue after a Chinese tourist collapsed after getting something stuck in his throat. 

 

Gu Wei,31, was not responsive and was not breathing when the medics arrived. His friends were standing around in shock, reported Pattaya Eastern News. 

 

Attempts were made to revive him before he was taken away to Bang Lamung Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

 

Staff at the restaurant said that six people had arrived and ordered fried meat with basil over rice. They also asked for an empty plate to put food on that they had brought with them.

 

This appeared to be a fried chicken feet. 

 

One of the pieces got stuck in the victim's throat causing him to collapse onto the floor unable to breathe. 

 

The hospital confirmed they had found a chicken bone in the man's throat.

Im torn between morbid comments and sympathy, discretion being the better part of valour, RIP.

 

Im very careful when I eat chicken feet. It isnt a gobbling food like a plate of Khao Nan Gai...

Guess he was used to noodle soup.

I'm sure no one can deny it's a fatal case of foot in mouth disease.

 

who on earth eats chicken feet they are just bones

Can't help feeling sorry for the person but bringing food from outside into the restaurant to eat and then having the cheek to ask for a plate to put it on is a bit rich. Chicken feet probably saved from a earlier all-you-can-eat buffet meal.

I have to agree with you on that, unless I've missed something?

 

Choking is a terrible way to die irrespective of what caused it.

 

A dreadful end for the guy and his colleagues holiday destroyed no doubt,not exactly a Golden Week for them.

 

RIP

A delicacy for Chinese and quite tasty if cooked correctly. It was the part of the chicken that may producers used to throw away now they have made their fortunes from them.

the bone / cartilage is apparently good for you....calcium I think. my Thai Mum sits there with a raw foot in her mouth while she watches TV. It looks disgusting but she loves chewing and sucking the damn thing.

It's very popular among Chinese people. Chinese food features texture more than western food and chicken feet are texture for days.

Did not anyone even try the Heimlich maneuver?

I think Golden Weak would be more appropriate in this particular case.

I find them quite tasty done Tom Yum Teen Gai, but Im gross and repulsive to my friends and family.

What a week

Now!

 

Little P will be apologising and ordering the death sentence on  all the infidel chickens causing grief to our esteemed Chinese friends

And the Heimlich Maneuver ... ?

 

 "As I experimented, however, I found that even with a partially obstructing object like a chicken bone, the flow of air past the object was enough to push it upward and out of the mouth."

Im really wishing you hadnt put that image in my head. ????

Chicken feet are very popular in Chinese communities. Cooked by boiling or steaming. Tasty meat around the foot bone; what obviously happened was the poor guy accidentally swallowed the bone....and the rest is -as they say -the end of his history...

On the beach, on a boat or in a restaurant, the Chinese seem to find a way to die in Thailand

They're trying to catch up with the regular ferang deaths.

 

Thats the saddest part of all this no one in the place knew how to at least try to dislodge the bone from his throat with a Heimlich procedure, a very simple life saving technique.

Asian people love feet but yes it can look strange to some westerners to eat that 

in the article it is very important for the restaurant to say that it was not their food he die from 

But awful way to die RIP 

Do they not know one eats chickens head first...

Are you suggesting it's a chicken feet revenge....

Deputy minister of hysteria has issued an apology to Chinese chicken foot eaters through the Chinese embassy.

Immigration is considering opening a special lane for chicken foot eating Chinese at international airports.

I believe it,s all the jelatinous looking stuff around the bones that is the attraction ! Had a friend in London who daily ate a plate of duck,s feet.
