Young man honored as hero after giving life to save drowning child

BANGKOK, 5 August 2009 (NNT) - The Ministry of Culture has made plans to honor Charoenchai Chaijia, who sacrificed his life to save a drowning child off the coast of Trat province today.

Minister of Culture Theera Salukpetch expressed sadness over reports that 20 year-old CPF employee Charoenchai died saving a 10 year old child who was drowning off the coast of Laem Ngop district in Trat province.

The minister remarked that Mr. Charoenchai was fitting of honor and that the Ministry of Culture had created a certificate to be handed to his family.

Mr. Charoenchai's family will receive 200,000 baht in social security along with 40,000 baht donated by his co-workers and employers in CPF.

Ouch. That was a lousy hand to have gotten dealt.

What is CPF?

My condolences to the family and friends. This is an act you don't see often in Thailand.

CPF: Charoen Pokphand Foods, part of the CP Group.

A brave act. Condolences to his family. :)
