Greek Tourist in dramatic cliff-face rescue at Pattaya Island
Posted on December 10, 2014
A Royal Thai Navy Seahawk Rescue Helicopter was scrambled to Larn Island, 4kms off the coast of Pattaya, on Tuesday afternoon, to assist a Greek tourist who was stuck half-way up a 400 meter cliff-face.
Mr. Bouras Theodoras aged 37, decided to attempt to climb the 400 meter high cliff located on Samaer Beach but when he reached half-way up the cliff he could go no further and he could also not safely climb down the cliff.
Rescue Services were called but quickly ascertained it was too dangerous to attempt a rescue so decided to contact a Royal Thai Navy Rescue Helicopter who arrived and plucked Mr. Theodoras from the cliff using a winch lowered down from the hovering Helicopter in a dangerous rescue.
Thanks to the skills of the Thai Navy rescue team, Mr. Theodoras was rescued and was unharmed. He decided not to speak with the press but did thank the Navy Rescue Team for their professionalism and courage.
