In the aftermath of a catastrophic bombing incident, 36-year-old Sergeant Worawit Naratna, an explosives ordnance disposal officer from Narathiwat, has transformed his career from defusing bombs to selling fermented fish online. Following the tragic event in May last year that resulted in the loss of both his legs, Worawit, known by many as Puen, found himself at home in Phatthalung province, facing the new challenge of supporting his family through unexpected means.

 

Initially, the venture into selling a popular local delicacy garnered modest success, with 10 to 20 orders a day. However, as his story captured the heart of the public, demand skyrocketed, reaching as many as 1,000 orders daily. Despite the financial setbacks, with a low net monthly income due to loan deductions, Puen remained resolute in his determination to provide for his wife, Lalita, and their young son.

 

The bombing incident not only left physical scars but also brought significant changes to family life. While prospects for stable employment with the Phatthalung Irrigation Project did not materialise, Lalita took on daily wage work to contribute to their income.

 

 

Worawit's resilience is further supported by a German company that furnished him with prosthetic legs, enabling daily walking practice. Potential return to work with the police was assured, possibly involving relocation closer to home.

 

The ferocity of his story and its spread online has bolstered both morale and sales for Worawit's new business. Supporters can continue to place orders through social media, ensuring that this inspiring figure remains a pillar of strength for his family despite adversity, reported The Thaiger.

Serving people's safety.

Frontline Hero's facing new challenge in his life.

Wish all well with him...

Is there any support movement for him?

I felt like sending  some donation if possible.

Sad to realize that a country like Thailand, whose King is among the richest persons of the world, can not provide better care for their citizens.
Specially somebody who served the nation as a police/militar and bomb diffusor.
Shame on you Thailand.
