5-11-2023 (BANGKOK) Takwa Wanawet (47) was successfully rescued from the cave in Tha Song Yang district of Tak province after rescuers widened the cave entrance to reach him and bring him to safety. Following the rescue, he was promptly taken to Tha Song Yang Hospital for medical treatment. The Thai man had been missing from his residence for five days before being found in the cave.
The rescue operation faced significant challenges as the cave was approximately 10 meters deep, and the victim was exhausted. Rescuers encountered difficulty in extricating him from the cave. Complicating matters further, the victim was unable to hold onto the rope that was lowered to assist him due to his “mental disorder.”
In light of the situation, a psychologist was called in to aid in communicating with the victim and provide the necessary support during the rescue operation. The combined efforts of the rescue team and the psychologist ultimately led to the successful retrieval of Takwa Wanawet from the cave.
The details surrounding how the man ended up in the cave and the specifics of his condition were not disclosed in the report. However, the focus remained on the successful rescue operation and ensuring the individual’s well-being.
The prompt response and collaboration between the rescue team, medical personnel, and the psychologist played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and recovery of Takwa Wanawet. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of timely and coordinated efforts in emergency situations, particularly when dealing with individuals facing unique challenges such as mental disorders.
The rescued man will receive the necessary medical care and support at Tha Song Yang Hospital as authorities investigate the circumstances that led to his ordeal in the cave.
