A Thai woman featured in a video clip has been viewed by a million people online. And they found out that this attractive woman is a fine example for Thai society.
The clip in question posted on Facebook showed a woman sorting out a problem between a drunk man and a handicapped guy both of whom were on bicycles in the Ratchaburi area.
Most people would have let them get on with it but when Sawang-orn Dechata or Sanuk – 32, saw the drunk guy kick the other one she stepped in bravely to sort out the problem.
Then she didn’t just leave the scene but followed the pair to make sure that they were behaving themselves. They weren’t so she stepped in again to calm the situation for a second time one kilometre further down the road.
Talking to reporters, Sanuk said that in 2013 she came upon an accident in an out of the way place far from help and she was unable to help the victim. Someone died in her arms before help could arrive and this inspired her to do something to help society.
She joined the Por Teck Tung foundation that is one of the rescue foundations nationwide that does much to assist the Thai public in their hour of need.
Sanuk says that when she is off duty she still keeps all her first aid equipment in her car – she is always ready to help if needed.
She said she made the video to show others what could be done – she said it shouldn’t just be a question of seeing a situation, filming and posting for “likes”.
She explained that in this situation there was a lot more to it than met the eye – it was not just a question of an able bodied man having a go at a handicapped man. In fact she realized that the handicapped man had started the argument and both sides needed to be spoken to politely and sensibly to calm the situation.
Asked about this incident she added: “I was scared but here was a situation where people were in trouble. I could help calm the situation so I did.”
