Chinese Tourist Drowns At Koh Larn

[kurgen]

Medical Staff at the Pattaya Memorial Hospital received two critical patients on Tuesday Afternoon who had been rescued from the waters off Tawan Beach on Larn Island which is located 4kms off the coast of Pattaya.

Mr. Hui Tai Fut aged 25 and Mrs. Lui Jin Jun aged 45 were part of a tour group who had gone to the Island on Monday Morning.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Jun had gone for a swim but got into difficulties and screamed for help. Luckily for her, Mr. Fut heard her screams and attempted a rescue, however the attempt went badly wrong and both began to drown.

Sea Rescue Units rushed to the location and pulled the lifeless bodies of the two victims from the waters. Mrs. Jun was able to be revived, however despite the best efforts of rescuers and medical staff at the Hospital, Mr. Fut passed away.

The groups’ tour guide, Khun Somgiet aged 56 explained to investigators that the female victim was using a flotation device in the water which she became detached from. It was at this point that the male victim attempted a rescue.

The Chinese Embassy in Bangkok are aware of the case and are investigating at this time

Died trying to save another, RIP brave one

I am coming round to the belief that the spirit of Pattaya is troubled and it is 'eating' foreigners as a result. Perhaps some big offerings from some seriously high-level pooyai are required to stop this angry ghost.

This is really a lesson that people who cannot swim should not use floatation devices in water above their heads.

you have to be very careful rescuing someone from drowning

if they are panicing they will use you to hold themselves up

you are taught to approach with caution, from behind or even to strike them

not saying this was the case here

RIP
