In an unfortunate twist of fate, a Thai man managed to get trapped in a drainage pipe for two days after a fishing trip in the Isaan province of Maha Sarakham. Fortunately, a garbage collector heard his cries for help and promptly reeled in a rescue team on March 4.

 

A Thai garbage collector heard the victim, 45 year old Runjuan, crying for help from the drainage pipe along the Nadune-Maha Sarakham Road in the Nadune district at about 1pm yesterday, March 4. The man investigated the sound and discovered Runjuan trapped inside the pipe. He then sought help from the Yang Nakhon Rescue Foundation and Nadune Hospital.

 

Upon reaching the scene, rescue teams found Runjuan stuck in the 80-centimeter diameter pipe. One end of the pipe was covered with dirt and mud, and the water level at the other end was too high for Runjuan to escape. Runjuan was located about 20 meters from the pipe’s exit.

 

Rescuers worked to clear the dirt and mud, gradually releasing the dead fish that Runjuan caught. After a two-hour operation, they successfully extracted Runjuan from the pipe. Runjuan, exhausted, was promptly taken to the hospital for a health check.
