Pattaya, Thailand— A white Mitsubishi pickup all of a sudden plunged into the sea at Laem Chabang Fishing Pier on July 7.
Teerapong Techamah, the 36-year-old owner of the lorry, informed press reporters that he had actually simply returned from docking his boat at Laem Chabang Old Beach when he chose to begin the engine to switch on the air conditioning system to cool the cabin. He was uninformed that the lorry was still in equipment when he began it, jerking it forward, moving it off the 6-meter-high bridge and into the sea.
Amazingly, Teerapong handled to promptly jump out of the lorry, directly getting away severe injuries. He credits his security to an amulet he used around his neck, thought to be blessed by revered monk Luang Pho Phat Punyakamo from Nakhon Sawan.
With the assistance of spectators and a crane, the immersed pickup was ultimately raised back onto the bridge.
