Chinese Tourist rescued after Paragliding into a Tree

PATTAYA:--Paragliding and Chinese tourists don’t seem to be a good mix this week in Pattaya City, as a second Chinese visitor ended up in an accident, this time caught in a surprise blast of wind as he was newsjsabout to land on the beach, and instead found himself up a tree, literally, stuck in the branches with his parachute wrapped around a security lighting pole

Emergency services were called to the scene to find 44 year old Mr.Zhongping Bai suspended amid the branches and had to climb quite a way up to recover him.

Sorry you are right, I was having an off moment with that one.. new headline.. Chinese Taken away by wind.. comes to mind

Squirrel says man who stuck in tree must be nuts.

Is this why city hall did that severe tree chopping exercise a few months ago?

Up the pole in a parachute gives new meaning to the saying - Up the creek without a paddle. Takes a very 'particular skill' - found only in Thailand - for a boat to plant a para-sailor atop a pole, several meters away from the beach.

Im sure, not so funny to the Chinese guy, could have been killed! At the very least, he will be charged for a full hour!

Cheap Charlie Chinese Tourist attempts to save Money by paying only to Paraglide but then tries the Flight of the Gibbon for free.

Chose wrong Tree & caught evading ziplining fee.

Howzat ?
