79-Year-Old Thai Woman Survives Three Days Lost in Phitsanulok Forest

A 79-year-old woman named Pim was rescued on August 3 after spending three days lost in the Khao Nam Dam forest in Phitsanulok while foraging for bamboo shoots. She became disoriented, followed old motocross tracks, and fell from a cliff—miraculously escaping serious injury. Pim survived by resting near a stream until search teams of officials and villagers found her. The incident recalls a 2021 tragedy when her neighbour died after falling from the same cliff. Pim was taken to the hospital in stable condition, calling her rescue a miracle.

Wife's grandmother did the same last year.....totally out of it at 88.....poor soul, gone now.

 

She was kept in the rice fields in a large cage......sounds horrific.....but her husband lived there with her, and she escaped.

 

She was basically unmanageable in the village....very sad.
