Three farmers were struck by lightning while toiling on a farm in Huay Yai Phrom Community in Sri Racha district last Friday, February 9.

 

According to the Sri Racha Police Station, the calamity unfolded around 5pm as an unexpected thunderstorm engulfed the area. The victims, identified as 45 year old Somchai, 40 year old Nongnuch and 18 year old Nattapong were tending to their vegetable harvest when tragedy struck.

 

The bolt’s ferocity left the trio scorched and in a state of shock from the powerful surge. Locals swiftly sprang into action, rushing the injured farmers to Sri Racha Hospital for urgent medical attention. Despite the severity of their injuries, the hospital provided a glimmer of hope, assuring concerned onlookers that the victims were in stable condition and on the path to recovery, reported Pattaya Mail.
