PATTAYA, Thailand – On June 7th, 2025, at 2:36 AM, the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Center in Pattaya received a report of a man injured and trapped under a gas stove stand at a local eatery in Soi Chak Nok, Moo 4. Rescue volunteers promptly rushed to the scene.
Upon arrival, they found Mr. Sodsai (last name withheld), 42, with abrasions across his body, covered in grease and grime. Visibly intoxicated and incoherent, he was wedged beneath a cooking table, entangled with the base of a gas stove. Relatives and bystanders had managed to partially free him before rescuers arrived. Emergency personnel provided first aid and urgently transported him to a hospital.
According to his wife and relatives, Mr. Sodsai had been drinking heavily since the evening and was in a state of delirium, muttering incoherently. Just before the incident, he lit incense and candles, seemingly performing a ritual to seek forgiveness, though no one could discern the reason. He expressed fear of being pursued before crawling under the table, where he became stuck. Despite efforts to coax him out, he remained unresponsive, prompting relatives to call for help from neighbors and rescue services.
The incident left onlookers puzzled, with no clear explanation for his erratic behavior. Authorities are ensuring he receives medical attention while the investigation continues.
