Four Royal Thai Navy (RTN) officers from Sattahip Naval Base swiftly jumped into action following a traffic accident between a motorcyclist and a bus in Chon Buri. The officers were on routine patrol when they spotted a Thai man aged 48, injured and trapped under the searing sun.
The accident had occurred at 3pm on April 30 and quickly created a buzz on social media.
The officers, including both men and women, rushed to shield the man from the sun’s rays. They got an umbrella from a nearby store and used a fan to reduce his body temperature, an important measure to prevent heatstroke.
Simultaneously, Lieutenant Prapaphon Samphawaphon, another officer present at the scene, called for medical assistance from the Sawang Rojathantham Sattahip Foundation rescue team, as the other officers controlled traffic to avert additional mishaps.
The officers’ selflessness didn’t stop there. They stood by the injured man’s side, comforting him until the rescue team arrived, enduring the relentless sun for more than 30 minutes according to observers.
The scene was captured on video and circulated on social media, also acting to increase public admiration for the officers who acted promptly and selflessly. Their daring and kindhearted act demonstrates the enduring spirit of humanity, even in trying times.
