webfact Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Greek Tourist in dramatic cliff-face rescue at Pattaya IslandPATTAYA: -- A Royal Thai Navy Seahawk Rescue Helicopter was scrambled to Larn Island, 4kms off the coast of Pattaya, on Tuesday afternoon, to assist a Greek tourist who was stuck half-way up a 400 meter cliff-face.Mr. Bouras Theodoras aged 37, decided to attempt to climb the 400 meter high cliff located on Samaer Beach but when he reached half-way up the cliff he could go no further and he could also not safely climb down the cliff.Rescue Services were called but quickly ascertained it was too dangerous to attempt a rescue so decided to contact a Royal Thai Navy Rescue Helicopter who arrived and plucked Mr. Theodoras from the cliff using a winch lowered down from the hovering Helicopter in a dangerous rescue.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/158669/greek-tourist-in-dramatic-cliff-face-rescue-at-pattaya-island/-- Pattaya One 2014-12-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I know that in France these rescues are 100% free. Not completely true : rules are not the same in sea or in mountain, and often the rescued person or his insurance has something to pay ( but not everything ) this man on the picture is stupid , it's the sort of thing I don't understand : to be unable to assess the risks helicopter is very expensive, I hope this " tarzan" will pay something Edited December 10, 2014 by Aforek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjaidee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Make the idiot pay for ALL the costs for his rescue, Helicopter, Manpower and everything else. I'm from the UK where rescue costs are covered by the rescue services. I'd be surprised if Thailand was any different. Would you expect rescue costs to be paid by the person being rescued in your home country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If nothing else - seemingly a good quick response & life saved.....lucky guy..... Probably be awhile before he does anything that stupid again.....maybe..... That's 200 meters up at half way - not small...if he'd made it then what? Jungle? Climb back down? Spend the night?

phetchy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 More like a 40 metre high cliff. There is nothing 400 metres high anywhere near there. Makes him out to be as much of a wimp as a prat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I was going to say ...... 400 metre cliff on Koh Larn? That makes it almost as high as the Rock Of Gibraltar. Edited December 10, 2014 by soihok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
