A foreign tourist suffered a cardiac arrest as he was waiting at a traffic light on Pattaya Central Road. He was saved by the swift actions of a young Thai doctor and local rescue volunteers.
 

The incident which has since garnered significant attention across Thai social media, began when the tourist collapsed on Central Road, near the intersection across from Foodland. Passersby’s quickly gather around the unconscious man, while a young doctor rushes to the scene, performing life-saving CPR.

 

 


The doctor, identified as Dr. Surachet Sirisuthivoranon, known as “Dr. Mark”, a 32-year-old physician from Chan Clinic, happened to be nearby when the incident unfolded.
 

Dr. Mark explained that the foreigner had suddenly lost consciousness while waiting at the traffic light and had no pulse when he was found. Without hesitation, Dr. Mark, along with rescue volunteers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation, began administering emergency CPR to revive the tourist.

 

The rescue was a combined effort, with traffic police helping to manage the scene as Dr. Mark and the volunteers worked tirelessly to stabilise the patient.

 

Dr Mark continued to assist and also accompanied the tourist to the hospital in the ambulance to ensure his condition was monitored en route.

 

Dr. Mark, is currently pursuing a PhD at Siriraj Hospital and emphasised the importance of basic first aid knowledge and how interventions like CPR can make the difference between life and death.

 

The tourist, whose identity was not disclosed, was taken to a local hospital, where he is reported to be recovering under medical care.
