snoop1130 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 A condominium technician unervingly drowned in the same swimming pool where he tried to save the life of a tourist in the heart of Pattaya. The incident occurred at 1am today when the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Center in Pattaya, received a distress call from a condo in Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri province. The call reported that an individual, identified as Uthit, believed to be between 40 and 45 years old, and a technician at the condo, had been found in a distressing condition in the swimming pool. Rescue workers were on the scene to assist the casualty, offering preliminary first aid and heart-pumping efforts to resuscitate him, before promptly transporting the dead man to the nearest hospital. Simultaneously, a group of friends represented a mournful scene surrounding the pool, shedding tears over the unfortunate incident and praying for their dear friend.

NoDisplayName Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Quote Moreover, it was revealed by a condo resident that Uthit had, in the past, tried to rescue a foreign tourist drowning in the same pool. Unfortunately, his attempts had been unsuccessful, with the tourist passing away later. So, not a lifesaver after all. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, this happened on another day. Sad that no-one saw him at 1 a.m., if this is when he drowned. I personally pulled out a guy a few months ago in one of Pattaya Beach's swimminng areas, who survived, even though he had been at least for 20 min. with the head under water, possibly even much longer, as no-one saw what happened. So, if the guy in the OP had been found earlier, perhaps he could have survived too. 1 a.m., strange time for a swim...

Quote From recounts by the group, it was established that Uthit had wandered off to use a bathroom located near the pool during a birthday celebration. His prolonged absence raised concerns among them. Adding to their worry, a condo resident suggested a check around the swimming pool. Unable to locate Uthit, they were left shell-shocked to discover his body submerged in the pool and immediately called for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When would any drowning not take place in an unnerving manner? Are there reassuring drownings? It's really a meaningless addition to the sentence. Similar where the author writes that he was found "in a distressing condition". Just meaningless garbage. "What's his condition?" "Hmmm... I would describe it as one that causes others distress." Wow. So descriptive. What makes it worse, is the fact that the author is described as "a successful freelance journalist who worked with international news organizations before joining Thaiger. With a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from London". 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was going to make a joke that he didn't panic while drowning. he remained, calm, cool, and collected. But it's not appropriate to make jokes when someone has just died. Still, the title is silly. And the photo is ridiculous too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pools in Indonesia are only about 1.5m deep as it is often the local staff who fall in and get into trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
