Elderly Man, 94, Falls from Sugar Palm Tree in Chonburi
Picture from responders. A 94-year-old man suffered serious injuries after falling from a 15-metre-tall sugar palm tree while attempting to collect fruit. Rescue workers were called to the scene after locals spotted him lying motionless beneath the tree. At around 14.00 on 5 February, the Traikhunatham Foundation rescue unit was alerted to the incident, which occurred in Soi Phrom Sunthorn Monastery, Samet Subdistrict, Mueang Chonburi District. Emergency responders rushed to the scene to provide aid. Upon arrival, they found the elderly man, identified as “Chai”, lying at the base of the palm tree with a broken right thigh. The makeshift wooden nailed steps, used to climb the tree, had snapped, causing the fall. Rescue workers administered first aid and secured the injured limb before transporting him to Chonburi Hospital for further treatment. According to witnesses, Chai regularly climbed the tall palm trees to collect fruit, as he had done for years. On this occasion, he had gone out early in the morning, but when he failed to return, villagers became concerned. A worker tending to a nearby fishpond was the first to discover him. “I was checking the pond when I noticed him lying under the tree. He looked badly hurt, so I rushed out to call for help,” the worker explained. Chai was found with a bundle of freshly cut palm fruit beside him, suggesting that he had been working at the time of the fall. The broken wooden step on the tree indicated that it had likely given way beneath him, causing the fall. -- 2025-02-06
