An incident unfolded in Bang Saray, when a 38-year-old man, identified as Veeranan Jitcharoen, reportedly attempted suicide by jumping from a coconut tree. The incident occurred near HomePro in Bang Saray, on the Pattaya-bound side of the road in Najomtien, Sattahip District. Responders from the Sawang Rojanathammasathan Foundation received an emergency call and promptly arrived at the scene.

 

Upon arrival, rescuers found Mr. Veeranan sitting by the roadside, naked with visible scrapes on his body and complaining of back pain. First aid was administered on-site before he was transported to Wat Yan Sangwararam Hospital for further medical evaluation.

 

According to a bystander, who encountered the man while driving home to Huai Yai in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, Mr. Veeranan was seen sitting naked by the roadside. The witness, concerned for his welfare, offered him a coat to cover himself. During a conversation, Mr. Veeranan revealed he was deeply distressed after being fired from his job and had intended to travel to Sattahip to visit family. Overcome with despair, he climbed a coconut tree in an attempt to end his life by jumping from it. However, he survived the fall and later wandered to the roadside, where the witness discovered him.

 

The bystander subsequently contacted rescue services to ensure Mr. Veeranan received medical assistance. After being taken to hospital, authorities arranged for his family to be contacted so he could receive further care and support.
