Bangsaen, Chonburi – A three-year-old boy tragically drowned at Bangsaen Beach in Mueang Chonburi during a family vacation this week.

 

Emergency responders were notified of the incident at Bangsaen Beach in the Saensuk sub-district earlier this week. They arrived at the beach to find the three-year-old boy, who had already been pulled up from the water. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

 

The boy’s mother, Ms. Anusara Yawichai, emotionally told rescue workers, “We are from Samut Prakan and were on a family vacation. While we were on the beach, my son disappeared for just a few seconds from my sight.

Real terrible news...Parents must be devastated! 

I see this all the time. For Thais, well most times they are in the shade eating and drinking while letting the kids roam on their own. They can't be bothered to keep an eye on the kids.

I have my self a 3 year old son, i am always cautious on the beach.

 

I am very sorry for the parents, this is for sure a teribbe feeling, and must hurt a lot ????

A few seconds you'll regret for the rest of your life.

Exactly the truth. 3 seconds is a lie just covering her rear end out of embarrassment, problem is more of why they let the kid wander i see n the water and sit like 100 meters away

Irrespective of where the blame lies this is tragic and devastating for the family.

RIP little man.

Parents and guardians should aways be with a 3 year old child. No if or buts

Looking at her phone no doubt, and the poor kid had no floatation aids. Sorry for your loss but a warning to all parents, BUY your kids some cheap arm swimming aids, not perfect but could save a life and cheaper than a couple of beers.

so very sad .my kindest thoughts the the parents for their loss

It is a fair point but the likelihood is the kid was transported to the beach being held with one arm by one parent and all 3 without helmets.
