A healthcare professional from Chanthaburi passed away after being admitted to ICU following severe abdominal pain. The incident unfolded as details emerged from a close friend, shedding light on the last moments leading to the tragic event.
On the evening of August 12, Chaiyaporn, a close friend, and the deceased booked a room in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. The pair ordered a meal consisting of som tam, bamboo shoot soup, and mushroom curry. Shortly after eating, Mor Keng, the deceased, began vomiting and experiencing intense abdominal pain.
Chaiyaporn promptly called emergency services at 1669. Paramedics arrived and transported Mor Keng to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital, where they lost consciousness en route. The medical team performed CPR six times in the ICU, but despite their best efforts, Mor Keng passed away.
Reporters yesterday visited Bang Sarakeo Health Promoting Hospital, Mor Keng workplace, where the atmosphere was notably sombre. A few staff members were present, and the once bustling environment seemed eerily quiet.

They unanimously described Mor Keng as a kind-hearted individual, beloved by colleagues and patients alike, reported KhaoSod.

It wasn’t until 1.30pm that the family managed to reach Chaiyaporn, who explained why he had not returned their calls. He recounted the details of Mor Keng’s deteriorating condition, starting from the night they arrived in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.
