Rescue workers spent about 40 minutes negotiating with Ms Sawat, before convincing her to climb back up with the help of a lowered rope.
Ms Sawat was not seriously injured.
“The attempted suicide thankfully ended with Ms Sawat ‘taking the high ground’ – literally,” Mr Pornthip added.
“Ms Sawat is now safe and has returned home to her husband.”
