A 14-year-old boy in Thailand was accidentally electrocuted and lost consciousness while working at a temple fair. His body became stiff and got stuck on a scaffold, prompting bystanders to immediately use a traffic cone and other items to rescue him. Fortunately, the injured boy has since regained consciousness.
According to Thai media reports, the incident happened in Suphanburi Province in central Thailand. The boy, who supports his family financially, was hired on the 2nd to help install lighting equipment for a local temple event. Unexpectedly, while climbing the scaffold for the job, he was electrocuted, suspectedly due to a leakage, and lost consciousness on the spot, with his body remaining rigidly caught on the scaffolding.
Witnesses realized the situation was critical but were concerned about the risk of secondary electrocution. At the scene, they used a traffic cone (triangular cone), plastic chairs, and other items to push the boy to the ground and quickly sent him to the hospital for treatment.
Local residents shared on social media that the boy is known for being very mature for his age, and he took this job to help relieve his family's financial burdens, never expecting such an accident would happen while installing the lights.
The news sparked heated discussion among Thai netizens, who posted supportive messages and sincere wishes for this hardworking young warrior to pull through the crisis.
The latest updates indicate that the boy is now conscious and able to move his fingers slightly, and his condition is showing positive signs. In response to outside concerns that the rescue efforts may have caused secondary injuries, the family has voiced their strong support: "Everyone who helped was acting out of kindness."
The family urges the public not to blame those who stepped in to help on-site, and they expressed their deepest thanks for their alertness and enthusiasm.
