'Revenge of the snake-head fish' all over again in Pathum Thani yesterday

PATHUM THANI:-- Following in the footsteps of a Thai youth a few days ago who managed to stab himself in the face with a harpoon while out fishin', a 53 year old man repeated the trick yesterday.

Dork-rak Dechpuang was enjoying a day off at his house on stilts over a pond Friday when he saw the prospect of dinner in the water below - a nice size Pla Chon or snake-head fish, reports Thairath.

He grabbed his five pronged harpoon and crept stealthily downstairs - but unfortunately, like the youth earlier, lost his footing and fell on the lethal weapon that went through from his left ribs to his waist.

Medics called by his wife gave him first aid at the scene before snapping off part of the one metre long implement and packing the injured man off to hospital.

It is not known if he had fish on Friday in hospital for dinner.

Reminds me of the Thai army during the confrontations with the Cambodia army"they manage to shoot them self's in the foot."

"It is not known if he had fish on Friday in hospital for dinner."

Such high quality reporting. The line also does not seem to be on the original article.

" Dork-rak Dechpuang " well, with a name like Dork, what do you expect?

at least he was aptly named..

I got mine at the chippy last night safer.

Thought you were talking about the US army they seem to shoot more of their own than enemies
