He's a goodie, not a baddie.

What were the lifeguards not doing so that "Mr Martin" had to intervene and save a life? He should be offered a permanent residency or citizenship for his efforts. Drowning is such a problem for Thais. Swimming (or awareness of water dangers), should be taught to Thais universally. Too many tragedies - young and old, whether homeless or not.

 

Perhaps he was nearest and saw him first?

So he helped by shouting, 'Hey you dozy winkers, that man is drowning.'

And perhaps they looked up from their phones........

Been there done that on Koh Chang 5 Thais rescued no social media in those days, a round of applause was more than i expected and a wai from the young girl next day, the other 4 men had just rushed in to save her, then they couldn't get back in either.

"...there was a German tourist identified only as Mr. MARTIN, 53, who shouted out loud that a man was unconscious in the sea, bringing the notice of lifeguards nearby..."

If lifeguards are like those in Jomtien, the only thing they pay attention to is their smart phones.  Half don't even face the beach when "on duty" (sitting around a card table, eating snacks, focused on Sm.  And those outfits: "burkinis?" Do any know how to swim?
