A wire mesh impaled a Pattaya tourist’s ankle on Tuesday night. The tourist, 42 year old Rayong resident Sirima Khummode, said she was walking to buy food on Thepprasit Road at around 9pm. She said she accidentally stepped on some protruding iron wire mesh on the footpath.
The wire penetrated Sirima’s ankle, and she screamed for help from passersby. Rescuers found Sirima sitting on the footpath and crying in pain, The Pattaya News reported.
The rescuers carefully removed the wire from Sirima’s leg and transported her to a nearby hospital.
The mesh was about 2 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, and there are no warning signs on the walkway. Some Pattaya residents said the walkway has been under improvement since October 2020, and was supposed to be completed last September according to the construction contract.
