Lost and afraid: Chinese woman rescued from Pattaya woods
A Chinese woman suffering from mental health issues was found wandering in distress near a wooded area in Jomtien, prompting a swift rescue operation by Pattaya City officials.
The alarm was raised when a concerned local spotted the woman looking lost and disoriented near a condominium complex and immediately alerted the police.
Responding quickly, officials tracked her down in the dense forest, ensuring she was safe before reuniting her with her family.
Upon arrival, rescue teams found the woman in a fragile state, visibly shaken and confused. They carefully approached her, offering reassurance before escorting her out of the area.
She was then assessed to ensure she was physically unharmed before being taken into the care of her relatives.
Police have not disclosed how the woman ended up in the wooded area or the circumstances leading to her distress, but they emphasised the importance of public vigilance in assisting those experiencing mental health crises, reported Pattaya Mail.
“This swift response highlights Pattaya’s dedication to the safety and well-being of all individuals, including foreign visitors,” an official stated. “We urge the public to report any situations where someone may be in distress so that help can be provided as quickly as possible.”
In similar news, Bueng Kum District Police in Bangkok are investigating a bizarre case involving a Thai woman’s claims of sexual assault by a gang of invisible men over the past two years.
The 52 year old woman alleges she has endured repeated attacks by ten men with supernatural abilities, capable of hypnotising and tormenting her. Blurring the line between the paranormal and reality, her claims have drawn attention from both authorities and mental health experts.
On March 2, a team led by Kan Jom Phalang and Thanakrit Jitareerat, an advisor to the Minister of Public Health, visited her small home in Soi Nawamin 42 to assess the situation. Officials are working to determine the validity of Ning’s allegations while ensuring her safety and well-being.
