A woman attempted suicide by jumping into the Mae Klong River in the central province of Samut Songkram. She reportedly attempted to drown herself but floated for 10 hours before being fished out by a rescue team.
Baan Koh Restaurant owner Wichai Tiamcharoen contacted a rescue team after the 45 year old saw the body of a woman floating near the pier of his eatery today at 8am.
The woman, later identified as 45 year old Pinthong, wore a maroon-red sweater and black pants. Her face was turned up, her eyes were closed, and her hands were set in a praying gesture.
The rescue team arrived at the scene and plunged into the river to fish her out. Thinking she was already dead, the team was startled when Pinthong suddenly opened her eyes.
Samrit Karndee, a rescuer, told Thai media that although he has been a part of an emergency services’ team for a decade, he had never seen anything…
