Popular Post webfact Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath were full of praise for a team of rescue divers from Udon Thani who found a Thai woman's much treasured diamond that fell into a pond in NE Thailand. Khwanthip Kiatnongyung, 45, who has a foreign husband, called in Sawang Metha Ban Dung rescue after a necklace snapped while she was hauling a buffalo rope at their house in Ban Khor Khiaw. She managed to grab hold of the necklace itself but a diamond accessory plunged into the murky depths apparently never to be seen again. Khwanthip was distraught - it was a family heirloom much prized by her and her "farang" husband and worth 140,000 baht. It was one carat in weight. Picture: Thai Rath The rescue team arrived at 11 am and were just going to give up when one member found it at 4 pm and returned it to the owners. No reward was mentioned in the story though the media made much of the Thai proverb that translates as diving for a needle in the ocean. The equivalent of looking for a needle in a haystack, the English version. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-24 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
