snoop1130 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Schoolgirl trapped in hole outside Anti-Corruption Museum By The Nation Photo by Tanachai Pramarnpanic A Bangkok schoolgirl faced a nerve-wracking rescue today (August 3) after her leg became trapped in a drainage hole opposite Government House. Rescue volunteers with heavy equipment were called to the scene in front of the Anti-Corruption Museum on Phitsanulok road, which the girl was visiting with her classmates. They arrived to find her leg had disappeared beneath the surface of the road up to the knee and she was unable to pull it out. They spent 20 minutes hammering away at the tarmac around the hole before finally freeing the girl, who escaped with just minor injuries. She explained that she had toured the museum with her class and then accidentally fell into the hole before returning to her bus.

Popular Post thequietman Posted August 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2020 Surprised that they didn't ask for a backhander to get her out. ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooBigToFit Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 How many stories like this are there per year. There's another one from Phuket today as well. I've probably gone through the sidewalk at one point in my time here. I know another foreigner who really hurt her leg going through one of those cheap gutter covers. #ThailandNeverChanges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyNJoy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Sounds like they got her out of there pretty fast. If I fell in there, I'd probably be stuck for life lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note what do they display in this museum ... paper bags full of wads of money? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
