Rescue workers and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find 42 year old Mr. Satit Detmak had already been pulled up from the water onto the beach.

Rescue workers provided CPR before rushing him to a local hospital. He is expected to fully recover after the incident.

Mr. Niphon Chimchanwet, 52, told The Pattaya News that he and his family were relaxing on the beach.

He saw Mr. Satit was waving his hands in the sea for help. He jumped into the water and pulled Satit to shore and then immediately called rescue workers.
