PATTAYA, Thailand – What started as a drunken attempt at a midnight swim ended as a comedy of errors—but with a loyal twist. A 27-year-old Thai man, slightly inebriated from drinks and temple offerings, wandered into a pond, only to decide that napping under a bamboo clump on the far side was the best idea. His friends feared he had drowned and called for help.
Thankfully, Bo, a vigilant white Thai dog, guided rescuers through the water and led his human safely back to shore. What could have been a tragedy became a humorous but cautionary tale about the dangers of waterways after alcohol consumption.
As a reminder to Pattaya residents and tourists: even a loyal dog like Bo might be the only thing standing between a fun night and a potential disaster along canals, ponds, or beaches—especially at night or after heavy drinking—so friends must also make sure to take care of each other.
