An unidentified foreign man was injured this morning around 6:45 A.M., July 3rd, 2023, when a tree suddenly fell on him as he sat at the bottom of Soi Pratumnak 5 near a convenience store.

 

The man, who appeared to be Caucasian and in his 60s or early 70s, had been sitting nearby the tree and convenience store when witnesses stated that a gust of wind caused the large tree to suddenly fall, landing partially on top of him.

 

Witnesses, who asked for their names to be withheld, said it took a car jack to raise the tree off of the man who was partially pinned by the fallen tree. The man was taken via ambulance to a hospital nearby although he appeared cognizant and aware. His condition was unknown but appeared to be non-life threatening. Multiple Good Samaritans from motorbike taxi drivers to nearby tourists to convenience store employees helped rescue the man from under the tree.

Remember when a limb fell on some farang on Jomtien beach....They used this a a excuse to cut down loads and loads and loads of trees from the beach walkway.....

 

 Soi Pratumnak 5 is the last nice beach with trees in this area.....You know they would love to cut every last one of those trees down there....And cover the whole area with concrete........
