Emergency services were called to assist a man in the early hours of the morning after he ingested toilet cleaner in a suspected suicide attempt near a petrol station, on Sukhumvit Road at the junction leading to Motorway 7, in Pattaya, Chonburi province.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 03:30 and was reported to the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Centre. Responders arrived at the scene to find the man in distress and vomiting. He was given immediate first aid before being transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

 

The man was later identified as Mr. Warawut Saenpha, 30. According to medical personnel, he had consumed a quantity of “Duck Pro” brand toilet cleaner and was experiencing nausea and vomiting as a result.

 

Mr. Somchai Thapthim, 40, a friend of the victim, told rescuers that Mr. Warawut had come to see him and spoke in a manner that resembled a farewell. Shortly after, he began vomiting, prompting Mr. Somchai to question him further. It was then revealed that Mr. Warawut was distraught after his girlfriend had left him and had attempted to take his own life. Mr. Warawut then rushed outside, but collapsed at the side of the road.

 

Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any legal or mental health follow-up will be conducted, but the incident highlights ongoing concerns about mental health awareness.

For copy cats, chose another brand.

The tradition in Pattaya for farangs is to join the "Pattaya flying club" but I guess that doesn't really apply to Thai men.
