Accident Heroic Rescue Saves Young Woman from Near Drowning
Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News In the early hours of August 12, a near-drowning incident at Pattaya Beach highlighted the crucial role of fast-acting bystanders. A Thai woman, in her twenties, was rescued thanks to the bravery of a local man and the swift response of emergency services. The drama unfolded near Soi 6 on Pattaya Beach when the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation’s rescue centre received a distress call about a tourist in trouble in the sea. The rescue team and Pattaya City Police raced to the scene, finding a gathering of worried onlookers, both locals and holidaymakers. At the heart of the crowd was the young woman, pulled unconscious and convulsing from the water. Without any identification on her, emergency responders had to act quickly. They administered first aid before she was whisked off to Pattaya City Hospital for urgent treatment. The hero of the hour was Chonsit Buarung, a 25-year-old known as Dod. He recounted his critical intervention while sitting on the beach with his friends when he noticed the woman enjoying drinks with her group. As her friends departed, she continued alone before disappearing into the surf. Recognising the potential for danger, Chonsit leapt into action. He bravely entered the water, pulled the woman to safety, and notified the authorities. As of now, the cause of the incident remains uncertain, with officials investigating whether alcohol played a part, if it was an attempted suicide, or simply a swimming mishap. The woman's condition is being closely monitored at the hospital. This event shines a light on the importance of public vigilance and quick actions in public spaces. Beaches, particularly those frequented by tourists, can present unexpected risks, especially when alcohol is involved. It serves as a reminder of the critical need for awareness and readiness to assist in emergencies. Local authorities emphasise the importance of looking out for one another, especially in areas like Pattaya which attract large crowds. They commend the acts of quiet heroes like Chonsit whose rapid response potentially saved a life. This incident also reminds us about the importance of not leaving personal belongings unattended, especially identification, which can be crucial in emergency situations. Emergency services in Pattaya continue to be on high alert, especially during weekends and holidays when beaches are crowded. They encourage anyone visiting the beach to remain mindful of their surroundings and to avoid swimming alone or under the influence. Chonsit's actions have earned him praise not only from authorities but also from those at the beach that day. His readiness to step in highlights the best of human nature, reminding us of the power of immediate, thoughtful response to help those in distress. Pattaya officials are also considering increased safety measures and awareness campaigns to prevent similar events in future. This may include placing more informational signs on the beach, providing more lifeguards, and hosting educational sessions to inform both locals and tourists on water safety. In the meantime, the young woman continues to recover, with medical staff keeping a close eye on her progress. The community's thoughts remain with her. For now, thanks to the courage of one man and the efficiency of local services, a potential tragedy was averted. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-08-13 -

Baan Suan Lalana
I am looking into purchasing a studio condo in Baan Suan Lalana in Jomtien. Is anyone living there able to offer feedback, good or bad, on what it is like to live there? I see one property company seems to be selling a lot of condos there? Is that normal or is there a reason? Thanks in advance, -

Cars - Buying New Or Used in Thailand
The OP can buy a reliable secondhand car for 200K to 300K baht. ToyotaSure is the best bet, a Vios or Corolla has a well-earned reputation for no-fuss durability. If he is leaving the car for 6 months, pump the tyres up to 50 psi, and take out the battery. Buy a can of ether spray to put down the air intake when starting up.
