Prachinburi River [MATICHON].

PRACHINBURI — An 18-year-old man reportedly drowned last night while trying to swim across Prachinburi River over a lost World Cup bet he has made with friends.

According to his friends, the victim, whose name has been withheld by police, vowed to swim across the river if Brazil lost in the semi-final round of the FIFA World Cup.

After Germany beat Brazil 7-1, the victim reportedly kept his word and arrived at the pier of Goddess Tub Tim Shrine at 7 pm last night.

He then jumped into the river and proceeded to swim to the other side, but disappeared somewhere in mid-river, his friends say.

Rescue workers later found his body at around midnight.

If some-one can't swim don't bet about swim.

This is taking soccer way to far.

Agreed of course. But at least he did with his HONOR intact. More than can be said for the Brazilian football team.

I am sure his parents will consider that makes all the difference coffee1.gif

Darwin award for that one. One less idiot in the world. Better to be dishonorable but still breathing, you can try and win your honor back later....

Yeah, I get your point, my little joke was in questionable taste.

I wonder if his mates took bets he'd get across the croc infested water? whistling.gif

Jeez. And he waited all day until the sun set. If he had done it during the day, maybe someone could have seen what was going on an helped him. Poor guy.

Gambling is great fun, Until someone looses their life.
