An incident occurred at a water park in Rayong, when an eight-year-old girl drowned despite desperate resuscitation efforts by rescue personnel. Medics performed CPR at the scene before rushing her to Rayong Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The incident has prompted police and local authorities to investigate safety measures at the facility.

 

The incident took place around 12.39 on 25 October 2025, when Pol Lt Anusorn Sripanna, Deputy Inspector (Investigation) of Phe Police Station, received a report of a child drowning at a water park in Phe Subdistrict, Mueang District, Rayong Province. He immediately alerted his superiors and coordinated with rescue teams from Sawang Porakunsan Foundation, Ban Phe unit, and emergency medical staff.

 

Upon arrival, rescuers found the young girl lying unconscious beside the pool. Emergency responders performed continuous CPR amid the panic of onlookers and tourists. Medical staff from Rayong Hospital’s Advanced Life Support (ALS) team were called to the scene and transported the girl urgently to hospital, but she was later confirmed dead.
