Man stuck in mud after falling from seaside road in Chon Buri

A midnight drinking session in Chon Buri's Muang district ended with a trip to the beach for one man on Wednesday ¬– and his drinking buddies quickly followed him.

 

The Tri Khunnatham Foundation took a call for help at 6am, after friends of Songka Khamsaeng, 24, had tried for hours to extract him from the bed of sticky mud into which he’d fallen.

 

The foundation sent a forklift truck and the rescue operation took another hour. Songka emerged from the beach covered with mud from head to toes.

 

His friend , Sompong Singsitha, explained they had come to drink on the side of the elevated promenade at midnight. But after half the bottle of whisky was finished, Songka had a sudden urge for exercise so he started jogging on the edge of the road – and promptly fell off.

 

Luckily for him, the tide was out. Unluckily, it had left behind a mud bed the consistency of wet cement.

I remember playing that game "stuck in the mud" as a kid. The only thing was there was no actual mud involved. Maybe the Thais play that game differently to us Westerners lol

Yea but if he'd been on the Lao Khao he wouldn't even have got to the jogging bit ..

Yes, it is awful that many Thai people are not the picture book paragons of Buddhist virtue that the propaganda system would like the world to believe they are.

 

Awful that they are just......ordinary people.

 

The same applies to those who are born into imposed belief systems all around the world (which often mean little or nothing to them).......Christians, Jews, Hindus, Moslems, etc,

 

But one would have to be a bit simple, rather unworldly, childishly naieve, to expect them to be otherwise.

I did not know that elevated roadway was so dangerous.

Well at least to drinkers.
