The Rassamee Maneerat Rescue Team in Chon Buri arranged a trip to the beach for a six year old boy who is bravely fighting sarcoma cancer. The boy is under palliative care but dreams to enjoy beach vibes at least once in his lifetime.

 

A Facebook account, Village Headman Montri Trirak, posted pictures capturing the heartwarming moment of the boy, his family members, and rescuers on Bang Saen Beach on Friday, June 16. Montri informed his followers in the caption…

 

“This might be the last opportunity for this six year old boy to see and touch the sea and sand. This beach trip is the first time for him and maybe the last time for him. The boy is in the advanced stages of sarcoma cancer. What he wants is so simple. He just wants to go to the beach once in his lifetime.”

 

Montri explained the more the family sought help from him and the rescue team. So, the relevant departments coordinated and prepared the emergency vans along with the necessary equipment to ensure a safe and comfortable journey to Bang Saen Beach.

 

According to Montri, both the boy and his family were overwhelmed with happiness. Throughout the trip, the boy remained in his father’s embrace. The father immersed his son’s feet and legs in the sea to feel the seawater and the sand. The father kept kissing his cheek and cried.
