A delirious man traveling from Chiang Rai to Bangkok decided to climb a 50-meter high electricity post in Ayutthaya and use the suspended electric cable as a sort of makeshift zip-line on Monday.
Pretty standard, really.
Bang Pa-in Police Department responded to calls that a man was stuck on an electric wire over a field in Klongjik District and found 50-year-old Boonsong suspended by a sling attached to his belt. He had grown visibly exhausted after what police later found out was three hours of climbing.
Ayutthaya provincial electricity authorities successfully rescued the man by attaching a hanging rope to the wire that he climbed down, but not without falling roughly the last 20 meters. He was miraculously un-injured.
After being rescued, the man said that locals in his village didn’t appreciate his vulgar language so that he had made a deal with God to climb an electricity post and ask their forgiveness.
The man appeared to be hallucinating and said the he missed his mother, Khaosod reported.
