Chon Buri woman slashes wrist in despair, rescuedLegacyA 54 year old Thai woman in Chon Buri was left in despair, turning to self-harm after a series of financial setbacks left her and her partner destitute. Yesterday evening, June 12, the woman, whose identity is withheld for privacy, attempted to slash her wrist and arm with a broken soy sauce bottle at her rented home in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung. The woman had been living with her foreign partner in Thailand for over 15 years. Her partner, who is ill and unable to care for himself, relied on financial assistance from relatives abroad. However, their world came crashing down when his bank account was suddenly frozen, leaving them without income or money for food. Struggling to make ends meet, the mounting stress ultimately led the woman to take drastic action in a moment of despair. Rescue workers from Sawang Boriboon Pattaya swiftly responded to reports of the incident. When they arrived at the scene at Soi Mab Yai Lia 19 in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, they found the woman with severe cuts to her wrist and forearm. After administering first aid, the rescue team rushed her to a nearby hospital for further treatment. As she sat recovering, the woman explained that her partner’s situation had left them both in a dire financial state, with no way to afford even necessities. As the couple struggled to survive, the overwhelming stress of their situation became too much for her to bear, prompting her to harm herself, reported The Pattaya News. In a heartwarming twist, one of the rescue workers, who had arrived on a motorcycle and was not wealthy, felt deeply moved by her plight. Concerned that she would have no money for food after leaving the hospital, the rescuer gave her 500 baht from his pocket, a selfless act of kindness that touched the hearts of many.
