At around 2:35pm, rescue teams from Karon Municipality’s Laem Sai unit and the Kusoldharm Phuket Foundation were dispatched to Soi Patak 12 after reports that a foreign man had fallen into a deep ravine earlier in the day.
The victim, later identified as Celou Cairety, a resident of Rawai Condo, had called his girlfriend at 10:36am to say he had fallen and was unable to climb out on his own.
Emergency teams coordinated efforts and brought specialised equipment to the scene, including a pulley system to reach the injured man in the steep terrain.
After more than four hours of challenging rescue operations, Mr Cairety was safely pulled from the ravine at approximately 7pm. He was then taken to Dibuk Hospital for a medical evaluation. His current condition has not been disclosed.
Authorities have not yet confirmed how the man came to fall but praised the coordinated efforts of all rescue personnel involved in the successful operation.
