webfact Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 As tourist drowns someone steals rescuer's wallet left on Hua Hin beach Reports are coming in of the death of a tourist from drowning near Soi 69 at Hua Hin beach. But after another foreign tourist tried to save the other tourist someone stole his wallet that he had left on the beach. A video taken around 1 pm showed a group of concerned foreigners around the stricken man with one giving CPR. Mention was also made of the man's wife. An ambulance had been called but had not yet arrived. A post on the "Hua Hin Expats" page on Facebook said there were good and bad people about. The wallet contains important documents and Hua Hin police area aware of the incident. The tourist reportedly died though we have no more details at present. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-02-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't trust the hotels safety box? But in any case, one has to bring the passport, even to the beach, though risk of getting stolen or ruined.

dcsw53 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Commiserations to the good Samaritan, he was probably too busy doing the right thing to think about his belongings. Hope the thief buys him/herself a slap up meal and chokes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What a foul, abject parasite. The ignominy does not have empathy. Sad for the deceased, and hope that the rescuer quickly finds his wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohy Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ao manao in Prachuap has lifeguards !! Thats the plus side the minus is they are fully dressed in army/ air force gear with the addition of wearing a full lifejacket As unlucky conscripts who probably cant swim They avoid both sun and certainly water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Grumpy Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If it isn't nailed down, and there's a strong chance they'll get away with, you betcha they'll be taking it. And feeling really clever for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthai Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Someone does a good thing to try and save a life, and starting with the first post, out come the negative sarcastic comments. Sad indeed. Wonder what the comments would be if he had saved the person's life. Thank you good samaritan for trying to save a human life. You gave in order to do the right thing. Hope they can find the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
