A Chinese man was rescued early on November 24 after being trapped in a 10 metre deep well for three days in a forested area near Ban Wang Takhian Tai, Village 7, Tha Sai Luat Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province.

 

Soldiers from the Rajamanu Task Force (Special Unit) under Infantry Company 433 responded to reports from local villagers who had heard faint cries for help coming from the forest over three consecutive days. Upon investigation, the team located the man at the bottom of the well.

 

The Rajamanu Task Force worked alongside Mae Sot rescue services to safely extract the man. Found in a confused and incoherent state, he was suffering from severe dehydration, along with cuts and bruises from the fall. Fortunately, no fractures were detected. Unable to walk, he was carried out of the forest and transported to Mae Sot Hospital for further medical examination and treatment.

 

Authorities believe the man, a Chinese national whose identity has not been disclosed, had been walking alone in the forest when he accidentally fell into the open well. With no reports of him being missing, the circumstances of his presence in the area remain unclear.

 

The man recounted his harrowing ordeal to rescuers, explaining that he survived by consuming moisture within the well. His calls for help gradually weakened as his strength faded over the days.

 

Villagers praised the swift and coordinated efforts of the task force and rescue teams, which ensured the man’s survival after his prolonged entrapment.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident, seeking to understand the reasons behind the man’s presence in the remote area.

Easy - an illegal Chinese migrant walking during the night in a forest to avoid detection having fled nearby Burma?

Should be surge in lottery ticket purchases in the south, considering this might could be the return of the hidden imam.

So there is a hole in the ground with no fence around that everyone can fell into? Interesting...

... well, here's another angle on that story, lol ...
