Accident Thai-German Teen Drowns in Pattaya Reservoir
Picture courtesy of SiamChon. Tragedy struck in Pattaya as a 15-year-old boy of Thai-German descent drowned in a reservoir near Nong Prue’s small airfield, near Horseshoe Point, in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province. The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Rescue Centre received an emergency call at 20:05 on 19 June, reporting that a boy had gone missing underwater. Police Lieutenant Surachai Chuaykoon, Deputy Inspector of Nong Prue Police Station, quickly responded alongside rescue volunteers and the water operation team. Upon arrival, authorities were directed to the reservoir, approximately three metres deep, where the boy, identified only as “Jay”, had been swimming with friends since around 17:00. Eyewitnesses recounted that Jay appeared to suffer from leg cramps while swimming and began to struggle in the water. Despite desperate efforts by his friends to save him, the distance was too great, and the teenager sank before their eyes. The water rescue unit initiated a search and after approximately 20 minutes, the boy’s body was recovered from a depth of two metres. He was found face-down in the muddy bottom of the reservoir. Initial investigations by Lt. Surachai revealed no signs of foul play. It is believed that the boy, who had been in the water for over two hours, was overcome by muscle cramps while attempting to swim back to shore. His body has since been transferred to Pattaya Pathomkhun Hospital. In a heartbreaking moment, Jay’s mother, currently residing abroad, was shown the lifeless body of her son via a video call on a friend’s mobile phone. Overwhelmed with grief, she broke down in tears, a sight that left those present visibly shaken. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamChon 2025-06-20 -
