An eighty year previous Thai girl fell into the Nan River in Pichit province, northern Thailand, and floated for 3 kilometres before she was rescued by a good Samaritan yesterday.
At 4pm, sixty one 12 months old Bancha Simadua, the proprietor of a paint shop, was fishing in the Nan River close to Wat Ratchachang Kwan when he abruptly noticed a naked physique float previous him, which he assumed was a corpse.
Bancha immediately known as the police to the scene, jumped in his boat and drove out to the “corpse.” When he got closer, he saw the aged lady’s eyes blink open. Shocked, he realised she was nonetheless alive and needed assist.
He said there was a piece of wooden supporting the woman’s back preventing her from drowning. First pulled her up onto his boat and brought her ashore and waited for the authorities to reach.
Bancha later discovered that the aged lady’s identify is Grandma Boonchuey, from the Paktang subdistrict in Phichit’s Mueang district. Grandma Boonchuey floated down the river for over three kilometres. She is now secure and has returned residence.
Grandma couldn’t recall how she ended up in the river. Reporters travelled to her house to check up on her and found that she lives alone, her husband died a few years in the past. Reporters stated she suffers from “forgetfulness.”
Neighbours mentioned that Grandma Boonchuey probably went right down to the Nan River to fetch water to water her crops. She doesn’t bathe within the river as neighbours pump water into a shower so Grandma can bathe at her house, they said.
If Bancha hadn’t spotted Grandma whereas he was out fishing and acted rapidly to keep away from wasting her, Grandma Boonchuey would have more than likely drowned with out anybody seeing or understanding what occurred to her..
